Description
Mora-Jensen and co-authors measure in 2024 a hormone in saliva in children and teens with and without obsessive-compulsive disorder. The hormone system has been thought to play a role in the disorder, but past work in adults gave mixed results. The study included 113 young people with the disorder, 88 without any mental disorder, and many of their parents.
Saliva tests showed no clear gap in hormone levels between the two youth groups. Added analysis gave some support to the idea that there is no gap. Levels did link to age and to puberty stage. Readers learn that simple saliva measures may not mark the disorder in youth, and that age must be handled with care.
