  1. aStudy size represents all subjects analyzed, regardless of study design (i.e. case/control, meta-analysis, and family-based designs) or analysis stage.
  2. bThe study by Codd et al., 2013 [43] was not a case/control design, as telomere length was evaluated as a continuous outcome. MAF = minor allele frequency. MAP = Rush Memory and Aging Project. ROS = Rush Religious Orders Study
