Persistent lung injury in tuberculosis is driven by chronic inflammation and cellular senescence, biological processes closely linked to telomere shortening. However, data on telomere length (TL) profiles and their association with clinical factors in tuberculosis patients remain limited. To characterize TL profiles and identify associated clinical factors among tuberculosis patients in Indonesia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This cross-sectional study was conducted at Persahabatan National Respiratory Referral Hospital and Jakarta Islamic Hospital Cempaka Putih between October 2024 and March 2025.

The mean RTL was 6.83 \u00b1 1.36, with a median of 6.54. Shorter RTL was significantly associated with older age, higher body mass index (BMI), diabetes mellitus (DM), and the occurrence of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.05).
