Abstract
two different days (5-point daily profiles). Measures of body composition includedweight, height, waist circumference and skinfold thickness. Parents were asked to complete a set of questionnaires on life events, daily hassles and conflicts. Results: Mixed model analyses revealed positive associations between stress exposure and stress responses after controlling for age, gender and parental socioeconomic status. However, stress exposure was not associatedwith body composition nor with daily profiles in these young children. Conclusion: In very young children, stress exposurewas related to a dysregulation of acute physiological stress responses but not chronic stress responses or body composition. The time frame and lack of free access to food to change body composition after stress exposure might have been too short to show an impact within the age group of preschool children.
