TL;DR: Findings suggest that measurement of cortisol in hair could serve as a retrospective biomarker of increased cortisol production reflecting exposure to major life stressors and possibly extended psychological illness with important implications for research, clinical practice and public health.

TL;DR: Correlation between hair cortisol levels in mothers and their children suggests a heritable trait or maternal calibration of the child’s hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenocortical axis and Cortisol output gradually stabilizes and seems to have a stable trait.

TL;DR: The findings support the model of physiologic dysregulation as a plausible mechanism by which the duration and number of early detrimental psychosocial exposures determine health outcomes and indicates that the multiplicity of adversities should be targeted in future interventions.

TL;DR: The study raises the question of whether Cretan children may have abandoned some aspects of the traditional Mediterranean diet, and whether Swedish children have changed their diet in favor of a more Mediterranean food choice.

TL;DR: Factors in the social environment could trigger the induction of diabetes-related autoantibodies in 1-year-old children, and the present knowledge of factors influencing the autoimmune process might be widen to also include factors in thesocial environment of the community.
