As shown in Fig 2 , we observed a highly significant inverse association of the T/S ratio (as surrogate of TL) and chronological age (r = -0.345, P<0.001).

Positive associations remained significant for hemoglobin (p = 0.017), hematocrit (p = 0.023), and leukocytes (p = 0.009) in a subgroup with no reported vascular disease; associations were of borderline significance for erythrocytes (p = 0.053) and thrombocytes (p = 0.088) in this subgroup.
