Prediction of hypertension, diabetes and fractures in eucortisolemic women by measuring parameters of cortisol milieu

Cortisol secretion, peripheral activation, and sensitivity seem to be associated with hypertension (HY), type 2 diabetes (T2D), and fragility fractures (FX) even in eucortisolemic subjects. The aim of the present study was to determine the cutoff(s) of the parameters of cortisol secretion and peripheral activation for predicting the presence of HY, T2D, and FX (comorbidities). In 206 postmenopausal females (157 with ≥1 comorbidities and 49...
