To examine the association of the cortisol awakening response (CAR) with change in brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD%) in police officers over a 7-year period.
Baseline CAR was obtained from four saliva samples taken 15 minutes apart immediately after awakening. Analysis of covariance was used to compare the change in FMD% (FMD%Follow-up-FMD%Baseline) across tertiles of area under the cortisol curve with respect to increase (AUCI). Regression analysis was use to assess trend.
Officers (n = 172; 81% men) had a mean ± SD age of 41 ± 7.6 years. Men in the lowest AUCI tertile (ie, atypical waking cortisol pattern) had a significantly larger 7-year mean decline in FMD% (mean ± SE: -2.56 ± 0.64) compared with men in the highest tertile (-0.89 ± 0.69) (P = 0.0087).
An awakening cortisol AUCI predicted worsening of FMD% approximately 7 years later among male officers.
考察皮质醇觉醒反应(CAR)与警察在 7 年内肱动脉血流介导扩张(FMD%)变化的关系。
在觉醒后立即间隔 15 分钟采集 4 个唾液样本以获得基线 CAR。使用协方差分析比较了皮质醇曲线下面积与增加(AUCI)相对应的三分位数之间 FMD%变化(FMD%随访-FMD%基线)。使用回归分析评估趋势。
警察(n=172;81%为男性)的平均年龄为 41±7.6 岁。最低 AUCI 三分位组(即不典型觉醒皮质醇模式)的男性,7 年内 FMD%的平均下降幅度明显大于最高三分位组(-2.56±0.64 对-0.89±0.69)(P=0.0087)。
唤醒时皮质醇 AUCI 预测了大约 7 年后男性警察的 FMD%恶化。
