[QUOTE="Son of the Serpent, post: 7826441, member: 7015476"] This is a pretty unreasonable concern. The rates for these indicators are conclusively higher and these indicators (cortisol levels and obesity (also plenty others but those two are great examples)) also have thoroughly demonstrated relationships to mental illness. If we are talking about any time in the last 30 or so years then thats not an issue for blood cortisol serum levels, obesity, and many other broad physical indicators of mental health (and much further back for many other things). There is more than adequate data, methodological analysis, demographic consideration, and corroboration. We know (to far more than an adequate degree) how much the testing was done and who had it done. There is no difficulty seeing that obesity has risen. And with how ubiquitous taking blood fir various purposes has become cortisol is no problem either. Yes. We do know there are higher rates of most of these indicators. [/QUOTE]
