32. Cortisol curve flattening can be due to:
A. Chronic psychological stress throughout the day
B. Abnormal release of cortisol and dysregulation of melatonin levels
A. Chronic psychological stress throughout the day
Flattened cortisol curves occur presumably due to the physical and emotional stress of their diagnosis and treatment. Flattened cortisol curve has been robustly associated with a shorter lifespan and negative health indicators.
