ImpactModerate impact

While some posts suggest the study's findings could influence future stress assessment methods, the overall perception remains cautiously optimistic, hence a moderate impact score.

Abstract in brief

  • The study examined the relationship between perceived psychological stress and hair cortisol concentration (HCC) in women from Mexico and Iceland, using data from large cohorts.
  • Results showed that higher perceived stress scores were associated with increased HCC, suggesting that hair cortisol could serve as a biomarker for chronic psychological stress across different populations.
  • Despite small absolute differences, the consistent association across cohorts supports the potential use of HCC in stress research, even with diverse cultural and geographical backgrounds.]
