[Sex specific stress reactions in students during final examinations].
24 women and 43 men were investigated in rest and in connection with final examinations with a complex psychophysiological method. The reactions of women were characterized by a lower level of blood pressure, HDL-cholesterol, a higher level of heart rate, trijodthyronine, cortisol. No differences were found in subjective parameters and the results of examinations. Discrimination analysis supports partly these findings. The explanation of the gender specific reactions and their epidemiological importance is only possible on the basis of the complexity of the load strain connections.
