What is HPA axis function in male caregivers: Effect of the monoamine oxidase-A gene promoter (MAOA-uVNTR) about?
The burden associated with providing care for a loved one suffering from dementia is considerable (Schulz et al., 1995;Vitaliano et al., 2003). The caregiving role has been associated with multiple negative health outcomes (Baumgarten et al., 1992), including worse ratings of physical health, significant decreases in cellular immunity (Kiecolt-Glaser et al., 1991), higher levels of triglycerides (Vitaliano et al., 1995), and increased rates of early mortality (Schulz and Beach, 1999). Our prior research with the sample used in the present study has shown that caregivers also suffer from both increased symptoms of depression and poorer sleep quality (Brummett et al., 2005). Life situations that promote chronic stress (e.g.
