People with higher long-term hair glucocorticoid levels more likely to develop heart, circulatory diseases

New research being presented at this year's European Congress on Obesity (ECO) in Dublin, Ireland (17-20 May) suggests that glucocorticoid levels (a class of steroid hormones secreted as a response to stress) present in the hair of individuals may indicate which of them are more likely to suffer from cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in the future.
