Abstract: Academic stress (AS) is one of the most important health problems experienced by students, but no biomarker of the potential psychological or physical problems associated with AS has yet been identified. As several cross-sectional studies have shown that psychiatric conditions accelerate aging and shorten telomere length (TL), we explored whether AS affected TL.Between June 2014 and July 2014, we recruited 200 junior high school students with imminent final examinations for participation in this study.

“…Early mortality and an increased risk of developing physical diseases typical of the elderly are associated with many neuropsychiatric illnesses. Several neuropsychiatric diseases such as major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and possibly schizophrenia and anxiety disorders are associated with accelerated cellular aging, telomere length shortening in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and altered basal telomerase activity [ 91 , 92 ]. Stress during early stages of life and recent stress induce shortening of telomere length [ 93 , 94 , 95 , 96 ].…”
