000151637 5203_ $$aSeveral studies have demonstrated that a dysregulated hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is related to worse health status (e.g., depression, posttraumatic stress, or diabetes, among others). However, less is known about the association between the individual''s perception of their own health status and HPA-axis functioning in healthy older people. The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship between HPA-axis functioning and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in healthy older people. To do this, 140 healthy older people (69 men and 71 women) from 56 to 76 years old collected eight saliva samples on two consecutive weekdays to measure the diurnal cortisol cycle (i.e. awakening cortisol levels, cortisol awakening response (CAR), overall morning cortisol levels, change in the cortisol levels during the day, and bedtime cortisol levels). In addition, they completed the SF-36 questionnaire to obtain a measure of HRQoL (i.e. reflecting physical and mental functional health status). Results showed that higher awakening and bedtime cortisol levels and the CAR were associated with a better perception of both physical and mental health. In addition, the wake-to-bed cortisol slope was only positively related to physical health. No sex differences were found. These findings suggest that the awakening and bedtime cortisol levels and the CAR are the most relevant indices of diurnal cortisol secretion for understanding the relationship between HPA-axis functioning and HRQoL status in older people.
