Hair cortisol as a biomarker of stress in mindfulness training for smokers.

TL;DR: Preliminary findings suggest that smoking cessation intervention is associated with decreased hair cortisol levels and that reduced hair cortisol may be specifically associated with mindfulness training and smoking abstinence and support the use of hair cortisol as a novel objective biomarker in future research.

Journal ArticleDOI
