Understanding Telomere Test Results

Hello all,
I have recently received results to my telomere test by Tintanovo (Iner cheeck oral swab). At 35 years of chronological age, they claim that my result of 3700 base pairs puts me into a 27 biological age group with relative telomere length being 0.84. All studies I see online show results of around 7K for length of telomeres with 3K-4K being the length for 80+ year old individuals. What gives? I understand that the length of telomeres from oral swab can not compare to a blood test, but if I understand correctly the different sources for testing material should correlate in telomere length. On titntanovo website they state that my score is 3700 base pairs; so, does that correlate to 7400 number on other length vs age charts , since it's "a pair"?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
