Correlation Between Salivary Cortisol Levels and Diurnal Variation in Spirometric Parameters in Apparently Healthy Adults
Spirometric parameters exhibited minor diurnal variations, with no statistically significant changes for most measures except for salivary cortisol levels, which significantly decreased throughout the day. Significant correlations were observed between salivary cortisol and certain spirometric parameters.
