24 h UFC (ug/24 h) and salivary cortisol (ng/dl) values of healthy volunteers and overweight and obese study subjects

BMI (kg/M²)	Test	N	Median (IQR)

18.6–24.9	salivary cortisol	18	26 (20, 58)
18.6–24.9	24 h UFC	19	17 (14, 22)

25–29.9	salivary cortisol	56	20 (12, 44)
25–29.9	24 h UFC	60	16 (12, 24)

30–34.9	salivary cortisol	78	26 (15, 50)
30–34.9	24 h UFC	103	20 (12, 27)

35–83	salivary cortisol	174	24 (15, 51)
35–83	24 h UFC	222	18 (12, 27)

To convert UFC ug/24 h to nmol/24 h multiply by 2.76; to convert salivary cortisol ng/dl to nmol/l multiply by .0276.
