Cortisol output is not, however, the only method of assessing HPA axis function. In addition to endocrine measurement neuroimaging can be used to determine pituitary and hippocampal volume and density, distribution and/or affinity of glucocorticoid/mineralocorticoid receptors. The latter is particularly important as these receptors mediate the effects of glucocorticoids on cellular targets. As a related point, future…

The appendix provides complete tables for all age ranges
Since the principal objective is to determine whether there are age-varying effects of the predictive variables, survival analysis using standard Cox proportional hazards models in which effects are age invariant is not appropriate. In addition, such models cannot account for differential effects on survival which are the result of unmeasured heterogeneity in the sample. DTSA provides an…
This might have been particularly informative during the month of the Sun God Festival
Less consistent contributors to those regression analyses included age , female sex , EA ethnicity, cannabis use , and DTC with stress . When considered in the context of other predictors in these regression analyses, usual drinking quantities, baseline alcohol problems, alcohol expectancies, and peer drinking did not add significantly. The proportions of the variance explained…
