Abstract
Salivary cortisol0530Â h and NCR, but not CAR, nocturnal salivary cortisol 2200Â h, morning serum cortisol or overnight urinary free cortisol were associated with CIMT, independent of relevant covariates, including inflammatory factors. A low awakening salivary cortisol or a blunted NCR may be related to increased atherosclerosis risk in overweight and obese minority youth. These findings support adult studies suggesting flattened daytime diurnal cortisol variation impacts cardiovascular disease risk.
