1982
Abstract The 24 hr mean plasma cortisol concentration was measured in 65 healthy women ranging from 21% below to 218% above desirable weight and in 47 healthy men ranging from 5% below to 330% above desirable weight. In the women, there was a clear-cut inverse linear correlation between the plasma cortisol concentration and the percent deviation from desirable weight ( y = 7.5 − 0.3 x; r = −0.49; p p
