U.S., March 29 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06899373) titled 'Glucose Levels as a Biomarker for Stress in Firefighters' on Jan. 28.
Brief Summary: Stress is known to cause physical structures in the brain to dysregulate, resulting in health problems like cancer, cardiac disease, metabolic disorders (obesity), and depression. Firefighters experience many of these diseases at higher rates than other occupations while also experiencing highly unique stress loads.
