    The vast vast vast majority of people do not die because their telomeres run out. So the most likely outcome is no change, standard person

    However, if this person took care of their metabolic health, then they might live twice as long. The current human telomeres suggest a lifespan of 120 years. So this person with careful attention, might hit 240
