June 2025 in “JMIR Formative Research” This cross-sectional pilot study examined the relationship between hair cortisol concentration (HCC) and stress indices in 51 predominantly male participants. The study found a weak inverse correlation between HCC and perceived stress, and a stronger, yet not statistically significant, positive correlation with somatic neuroendocrine stress indices.
