Cortisol scalp hair has been identified as a biomarker for assessing long-term cortisol levels, and allows clarifying relation between life events, concentrations (HCC), clinical over time. In 71 BD patients, we analyzed proximal 3 cm hair, reflecting 3 months production, investigated association HCC, number amount social support, mood prior assessment HCC subsequent months. Although total was not associated (p > 0.05), negative increased (r2 = 0.04, p = 0.02). Social support showed an inverse reporting (r2 = 0.07, p = 0.03). H...
