Brain markers of cumulative stress response and allostatic load in the ageing Whitehall II cohort by Zsoldos, E

“…</p> <p>As hypothesised, stress markers measured as early as 20 years prior to the scan, predicted lower GM and WM integrity in older age. Unique linear relationships remained even after controlling for socio-demographic confounders between each stress marker and GM density but not with measures of WM integrity. …”
