Hair cortisol concentration associates with insomnia and stress symptoms in breast cancer survivors

Stress, depressive symptoms and sleep quality are important and modifiable determinant of health and their association with hair cortisol concentrations (HCC) in breast cancer survivors has not been evaluated. We selected a random sample of 65 participants (mean age 57.9 years old, range 44-75 years...

description Stress, depressive symptoms and sleep quality are important and modifiable determinant of health and their association with hair cortisol concentrations (HCC) in breast cancer survivors has not been evaluated. We selected a random sample of 65 participants (mean age 57.9 years old, range 44-75 years) recruited from local patients' associations of breast cancer survivors. Each provided a hair sample at enrollment and basic clinical data and psychological evaluation regarding self-perceived stress (PSS-scale), depressive (GDS scale) and insomnia symptoms (Athens scale). We observed a direct and significant (p = 0.001) association between HCC and stress-levels. Depressive symptoms associated significantly (p
