Abstract
In collaboration with colleagues at the World Health Organization (WHO), we are conducting a longitudinal study on global AGEing and adult health (SAGE). The SAGE project seeks to investigate patterns and determinants of aging in individuals around the world. Dried blood spots (DBS) are currently being collected from adults in six middle-income countries. These DBS will then be analyzed for a variety of biomarkers, including telomere length (TL).
