Title | Predicting hair cortisol and cortisone concentration in postpartum women through repeated measurements of perceived stress |
Overall design | The aim of this study was to investigate whether hair cortisol and hair cortisone can be predicted by repeated stress reports from postpartum women in different mental health conditions. A total of 240 mothers were monitored. Among them, 141 remained non-depressed (control group) during the postpartum period (12 week), while 36 developed postpartum depression (postpartum depression group). Hair cortisol and hair cortisone were assessed via triple mass spectrometry after liquid chromatographic separation. |
