To compare obese and non-obese adolescents in terms of their salivary cortisol response to the Trier Socia l Stress Test ( TSST).
This is a cross - sectional study involving 41 healthy adolescents aged 12-14 years in the city of Shenyang, China. The TSST response was determined using salivary cortisol measurements, and measurements were repeated after the test period. Repeated-measures ANOVA was performed to compare salivary cortisol levels between groups.
The male group comprised of 16 individuals (10 obese and 6 non-obese), and the female group comprised 25 individuals ( 13 obese and 12 non-obese). ANOVA with repeated measures demonstrated that weight status (obese or non-obese) had a significant main effect on the measures of salivary cortisol levels during the TSST among females but not males.
The finding suggested that weight status is associated with cortisol response to psychological stress among Chinese adolescent girls.
比较肥胖和非肥胖青少年在面对特里尔社会应激测试(TSST)时唾液皮质醇的反应。
这是一项横断面研究,涉及中国沈阳市41名年龄在12至14岁的健康青少年。通过测量唾液皮质醇来确定TSST反应,并在测试期后重复测量。采用重复测量方差分析来比较两组之间的唾液皮质醇水平。
男性组有16人(10名肥胖者和6名非肥胖者),女性组有25人(13名肥胖者和12名非肥胖者)。重复测量方差分析表明,体重状况(肥胖或非肥胖)对女性在TSST期间唾液皮质醇水平的测量有显著的主效应,但对男性没有。
该研究结果表明,在中国青少年女孩中,体重状况与对心理压力的皮质醇反应有关。
