Abstract in brief

  • Stress has been linked to abdominal obesity, with individual differences influenced by levels of glucocorticoid action, which can vary genetically.
  • Elevated long-term cortisol levels are associated with abdominal obesity and certain mental disorders, but not all obese individuals show high cortisol, highlighting variability in glucocorticoid sensitivity.
  • Understanding how stress affects glucocorticoid exposure and sensitivity could lead to personalized treatments for obesity, especially for those with increased stress hormone activity.]
