The association between telomere length and mortality in Bangladesh

Figure 2. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals for the association between TL quartiles and mortality outcomes in pooled analyses of all three cohorts. TL is divided into quartiles based on the distribution in controls. The reference group is the longest quartile of TL. The OR corresponding to each quartile compares the odds of mortality of the given quartile to the odds of mortality in the longest quartile.
