The examination of DHEA included stress reactive, basal and diurnal sampling, in order to elucidate the underlying physiological process that may overlap with TL. One hundred and two participants completed the Trier Social Stressor Test for children (TSST-C). TL was obtained from all youth from buccal swabs on the same day as the TSST-C. Saliva samples from 83 participants were obtained over the course of two additional days to measure waking and diurnal levels of DHEA. DHEA diurnal slope was a robust predictor of TL (\n                    <jats:italic>B<\/jats:italic>\n                    =0.516,\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt;0.05), while other DHEA values were not significantly associated with TL. This study is one of the first studies to examine basal, diurnal and reactivity measurements of DHEA in youth. Furthermore, this is the first study, to our knowledge, to demonstrate a positive association between DHEA, a putative anti-aging hormone, and TL, an indicator of cellular aging.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1530\/ec-16-0007","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,5,24]],"date-time":"2016-05-24T22:05:32Z","timestamp":1464127532000},"page":"107-114","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1530\/crossmarkpolicy-10","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Diurnal and stress-reactive dehydroepiandrosterone levels and telomere length in youth"],"prefix":"10.1530","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Andrew R","family":"Dismukes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1Department of Human Development and Family StudiesIowa State University, Ames, Iowa, USA"},{"name":"2Tulane University School of MedicineDepartment of Psychiatry, Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vanessa J","family":"Meyer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Department of Human Development and Family StudiesIowa State University, Ames, Iowa, USA"},{"name":"2Tulane University School of MedicineDepartment of Psychiatry, Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elizabeth A","family":"Shirtcliff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Department of Human Development and Family StudiesIowa State University, Ames, Iowa, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katherine P","family":"Theall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2Tulane University School of MedicineDepartment of Psychiatry, Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kyle C","family":"Esteves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2Tulane University School of MedicineDepartment of Psychiatry, Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stacy S","family":"Drury","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2Tulane University School of MedicineDepartment of Psychiatry, Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"416","container-title":["Endocrine Connections"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/ec.bioscientifica.com\/view\/journals\/ec\/5\/3\/107.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/ec.bioscientifica.com\/downloadpdf\/journals\/ec\/5\/3\/107.xml","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,20]],"date-time":"2026-07-20T13:42:01Z","timestamp":1784554921000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/journals.bioscientifica.com\/ec\/article\/5\/3\/107-114\/35152"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2016,5]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3"},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1530\/ec-16-0007","relation":{},"ISSN":["2049-3614"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2049-3614","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2016,5]]}}}
