Has anyone investigated using Chronic Stress in individuals as an indicator of unmet needs within a community? Can the recipe of Stress be used to interview individuals with Chronic Stress to identify the causes and triggers the individuals are subject to?

You may want to examine studies that focus on insulin as an early warning sign. Studies in Scandinavia and in the US show that psychosocial factors predict elevated insulin before glucose becomes disregulated.We have published a number of papers that show that persons under chronic stress (caregivers for a spouse with AD) have higher levels of insulin, but not glucose in those who do NOT have diabetes. Caregiving is a prototypic chronic stressor. Importantly, it is not the exposure to chronic stress, but individual differences (responses to stress) that are factors in elevated insulin. These include anger and hostility.
