Spearman's rho values with significance level indicated by asterisk (p^∗∗ < 0.005, ^∗ < 0.05) for relationship between childhood adversity and endocrine data in participants with CFS, healthy controls and in a combined group. Data analyses for each group are in the 4 columns below CFS, HC and Combined.
