• The cortisol awakening response (CAR): facts and future directions. (2009, background): “in healthy populations, but also in relation to many disorders including cardiovascular, autoimmune, atopic, allergic, and psychiatric diseases, among others (for review see, Wust et al., 2000b; Clow et al., 2004).”
• Assessing salivary cortisol in large-scale, epidemiological research. (2009, neutral): “Many researchers choose not to include the CAR data points in the slope calculation (e.g. Adam, 2006; Cohen et al., 2006) because of suggestions that the CAR may regulated by different neurobiological mechanisms than the restof theunderlyingdiurnal cortisol curve (Clow et al., 2004).”
• A field (researcher's) guide to cortisol: tracking HPA axis functioning in everyday life (2008, background): “Age has not been consistently associated with the CAR (Pruessner et al., 1997; Wüst et al., 2000; Edwards et al., 2001), but the CAR does appear to be moderately heritable (Wüst et al., 2000; Clow et al., 2004).”
• The cortisol awakening response: more than a measure of HPA axis function. (2010, background): “In addition high levels of sleepiness were associated with lower levels of cortisol 15 min after awakening in healthy office workers (Dahlgren et al., 2009).”
• Assessment of the cortisol awakening response: Expert consensus guidelines. (2016, neutral): “In healthy adults, the magnitude of the CAR was found to range between a 50–156% increase in salivary cortisol levels (Clow et al., 2004).”
• Cortisol awakening response and psychosocial factors: a systematic review and meta-analysis. (2009, neutral): “Based on existing evidence (Wüst et al., 2000b; Clow et al., 2004; Hellhammer et al., 2007), we considered a study to be of good quality if it considered or controlled age, gender, smoking, participant adherence to salivary sampling (e.”

• Diurnal Cortisol Slopes and Mental and Physical Health Outcomes:A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (2017, background): “For the purposes of this review, any measure that provides an indication of the magnitude of the difference between morning and evening cortisol values is considered a measure of the DCS.
