Abstract:

Violence has a negative effect in adolescents, impacting their quality of life. It causes stress and requires the victim‘s adaptive capacity, which can cause psychological and biological changes. The levels of the hormone cortisol have been used as stress biomarker in several studies. This article aims to perform a systematic literature review of publications on cortisol and violence involving teenagers2000 to 2013. The following descriptors were used in this review, \"violência\", \"adolescente\", \"cortisol,\" \"violence\", “adolescent”, which included the bibliographic databases PubMed/Medline, Lilacs, BVS and SCIELO. Twelve articles were analyzed here. Most studies involve participantsthe United States, of both sexes and without a control group. Different types of violence are studied, especially family violence, victimization or testimony. All studies use saliva to measure cortisol. Different methods are used for the analysis. Most of the studies (83.3%) found a statistically significant association between cortisol level and exposure to violence. There is no uniformity in the results yet, regarding sex, violence, socioeconomic status or cortisol analysis methods.
