我们分析了86名低社会经济地位（LSES）和高社会经济地位（HSES）志愿者的感知应激指数、基础唾液皮质醇水平和觉醒皮质醇反应（ACR）。LSES表现出更高的感知应激指数和基础唾液皮质醇水平，未改变的ACR或皮质醇日节律。我们的结论是，LSES与高感知压力指数和唾液皮质醇水平相关，这可能对健康产生负面影响，并且它与LSES组个体的日常生活压力有关。由于LSES约占巴西总人口的30%，因此这一结论可能对公共卫生政策和成本产生重大影响。
We have analyzed the perceived stress index, the basal salivary cortisol levels, and the awakening cortisol response (ACR) in 86 volunteers of low (LSES) and high socioeconomic status (HSES). The LSES presented higher perceived stress index and basal salivary cortisol levels, nonaltered ACR, or cortisol diurnal rhythm. We have concluded that the LSES is associated with high perceived stress index and salivary cortisol levels, which could impact negatively in health, and that it is related to the daily life stress experienced by individuals in the LSES group. Because the LSES corresponds to about 30% of the total Brazilian population, this conclusion might have a great impact on public health policies and costs.
