The present analysis compared urine- versus serum-based amounts of the stress hormone cortisol in two older adult samples, given that urine as a sample medium is a less expensive and less invasive method of determining cortisol amounts relative to serum. Seventy-three older adults provided urine samples as part of an ongoing study to assess levels of cortisol as a function of intellectual efficacy/performance; these data were compared to serum cortisol levels obtained from 96 older adults in a separate study examining health beliefs and cortisol levels. Analyses indicated that the cortisol levels did not differ across samples, i.e., cortisol amounts measured in serum or urine yielded similar, typical (within normal ranges) results. The data, though preliminary, indicate that urine may provide an alternative to serum when assessing cortisol in older persons.
