  1. Results were obtained using a multivariate logistic regression analysis. *: p<0.05. ***: p<0.001. Statistical significance was set at p<0.05. The results are shown in bold. UFR, unstimulated salivary flow rate; BMS Burning mouth syndrome, SOM Somatization, O-C Obsessive-compulsive, I-S Interpersonal sensitivity, DEP Depression, ANX Anxiety, HOS Hostility, PAR Paranoid ideation, ACTH Adrenocorticotropic hormone, ref reference, CI Confidence interval. Model I: dependent variable=psychological stress; independent variables; cortisol and ACTH were treated as separate variables. Model II: dependent variable=psychological stress, independent variables, and cortisol/ACTH ratio.
