Summary: Cortisol and heart rate variability are biomarkers of the stress response system, but their correlation is not well-established. This study used latent growth mixture modelling to identify subgroups based on cortisol response patterns and found that changes in heart rate variability during stress were related to changes in cortisol after stress in a prototypical subgroup.

Summary: The study validated the LICSP as a new psychosocial stress paradigm for postpartum mothers and compared stress reactivity in low-risk and high-risk women for CB-PTSD. Results showed significant time effects in stress reactivity outcomes, with high-risk mothers reporting higher perceived stress and altered ANS and HPA reactivity when considering infant life threat. Ultimately, the LICSP could contribute to (CB-)PTSD research.

Summary: The study found that although stress may be detected within a dyad of owner and dog, this does not result in a significant change in cortisol or heart rate. Based on the findings, the relationship between human and canine stress responses during outdoor walks is complex and influenced by various factors.

Summary: This study examined the influence of extraversion on physiological reactivity and habituation to stress. The results showed that extraversion was associated with larger blood pressure and heart rate reactivity, as well as greater habituation of blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, and heart rate. These findings suggest an adaptive response pattern among highly extraverted individuals and potential positive health outcomes.

Summary: Social buffering, where social presence reduces anxiety and fear-related responses, has been extensively studied in the laboratory. Results suggest that the familiarity of the interaction partner and gender have an impact. However, understanding the social modulation of anxiety and related responses in everyday life is still limited.

Summary: This study examined the efficacy of repeated Montreal Imaging Stress Test in reproducing stress reactivity patterns across two different designs. While stress reactivity was comparable between repeated sessions, differences in heart rate and cortisol response indicate that further adjustments to the task may be necessary for improved consistency. Task design was highlighted as an important factor in repeated stress reactivity.

Summary: The coexistence of stress and paediatric obesity is linked by psychophysiological mechanisms, with stress responsiveness and eating behavior playing key roles. High stress levels in overweight youngsters led to increased stress vulnerability and higher fat/sweet snack intake, indicating a vicious circle. Stress responsiveness and emotional eating may be targets for preventing stress-induced overweight.

Summary: By examining the genetic risk patterns, this study clarifies the etiology of functional somatic disorders (FSD). Patients with fibromyalgia (FM) have elevated genetic risk for various disorders including pain syndromes, internalizing disorders, autoimmune disorders, and sleep disorders. In contrast, major depression (MD) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have more restricted genetic risk profiles. This study suggests that FSD arise from a distinctive pattern of genetic liability for a diversity of psychiatric, autoimmune, pain, sleep, and functional somatic disorders.

Summary: A large proportion of the global workforce migrated home during the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns, but there were differences between home workers and non-home workers. Study findings suggest that home workers had less favorable perceptions of on-site buildings and workplaces, but better work quality and health compared to non-home workers. However, building, workplace, and related facilities may have the capacity to positively influence employees' affective responses and work quality, but not always their health.

Summary: Functional somatic symptoms are more prevalent in adolescent girls than in boys, and there are differences in the reports of parents and adolescents regarding these symptoms. It is unclear whether parent-adolescent discordance contributes to the higher symptom prevalence in girls. This study investigated the discordance in reported functional somatic symptoms between parents and adolescents throughout adolescence and examined its longitudinal association with symptom prevalence in early adulthood, focusing on sex differences.

Summary: Despite recent advances, sex, gender, and sexual orientation still receive little attention in large-scale cohort studies and may be mistakenly equated or non-informatively operationalized. This lack of attention and imprecise measurement hamper the understanding of health-related factors and disadvantage sexual and gender minority populations. Additionally, a lack of uniform measures hampers data integration in multi-cohort studies.

Summary: Experience sampling studies show that depressed individuals react more strongly to positive and negative stimuli than non-depressed individuals, particularly on negative affect. However, these findings may be influenced by floor/ceiling effects and assumption violations. Using data from 346 participants, it was found that depressed individuals showed increased positive affect reactivity when accounting for assumption violations, but no evidence of increased negative affect reactivity. The results highlight the importance of considering modeling choices in affective reactivity studies.

Summary: This study identifies new genetic variants associated with resting heart rate (RHR) and demonstrates that higher genetically predicted RHR is associated with a decreased risk of atrial fibrillation and ischemic stroke. Genome-wide analysis reveals multiple genetic variants in cardiomyocyte-related genes and provides insights into their electrocardiogram (ECG) signature. Mendelian randomization analyses indicate that higher genetically predicted RHR increases the risk of dilated cardiomyopathy, but reduces the risk of atrial fibrillation, ischemic stroke, and cardio-embolic stroke.

Summary: This study evaluates the presence of symptoms before, during, and after a positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR test and compares the symptom burden with those who tested negative. Participants from the Dutch Lifelines COVID-19 Cohort Study were surveyed about demographics, COVID-19 diagnosis, severity, QoL, and symptoms. The results show that most symptoms were more common after a positive test compared to before (p < 0.05), except fever. Symptoms were also common in those who tested negative. Quality of life decreased around the test for both positive and negative individuals, with a greater deterioration for positives.
