唾液中类固醇激素的测量为体质人类学家和人类生物学家在生殖生态学、生长发育、行为生理学和营养学等领域提供了许多有吸引力的机会。与血浆或尿液检测相比，唾液类固醇检测的主要优势之一是样品采集的非侵入性和非破坏性。显著的缺点也存在，由于所需的测定灵敏度水平的提高和需要仔细控制样品收集。详细讨论了研究设计，样本收集和处理以及使用唾液类固醇测定的数据分析和解释的方法学方面，特别注意通常被忽视但可能至关重要的考虑因素。体质人类学的潜在应用综述包括睾酮测定在男性生殖功能和攻击行为研究中的应用；肾上腺雄激素测定在人类生长和成熟研究中的应用；皮质醇测定在应激生理学和边缘系统觉醒研究中的应用；以及在女性生殖功能研究中使用卵巢类固醇。
The measurement of steroid hormones in saliva presents a number of attractive opportunities to physical anthropologists and human biologists in areas including reproductive ecology, growth and development, behavioral physiology, and nutrition. Among the key advantages of salivary steroid assays, as opposed to plasma or urinary assays, are the noninvasive and nondisruptive nature of sample collection. Significant disadvantages exist as well, stemming from the increased level of assay sensitivity required and the need for carefully controlled sample collection. Methodological aspects of research design, sample collection and handling, and data analysis and interpretation in the use of salivary steroid assays are discussed in detail, with special attention given to commonly overlooked but potentially crucial considerations. A review of potential applications within physical anthropology includes the use of testosterone assays in studies of male reproductive function and aggressive behavior; the use of adrenal androgen assays in studies of human growth and maturation; the use of cortisol assays in studies of stress physiology and limbic system arousal; and the use of ovarian steroids in studies of female reproductive function.
