Higher cortisol awakening response in young adolescents with persistent anxiety problems

Objective:  The aims of the present study were to test the association between current anxiety problems and basal cortisol levels in a large population sample of young preadolescents, and to test if HPA‐axis activity differs between individuals with no, only current, or persistent anxiety problems.
