Abstract

Significant classification performance was achieved for cortisol, melatonin, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha with an Area Under the Curve >0.80.

  • A dual-framework approach was developed for tracking hormone and immune responses through perspired sweat.
  • Distinct circadian patterns of biomarkers were identified, varying by age, gender, and stress levels.
  • Young adults showed clear separation in melatonin and cortisol phases, along with rhythmic immune responses.
  • Older individuals displayed reduced biomarker amplitudes and shifted phases, indicating potential inflammatory dominance.
  • Stress exposure led to earlier cortisol peaks, suppressed melatonin rhythms, and increased immune response variability, suggesting circadian misalignment.
  • Sweat was validated as a reliable medium for real-time monitoring of endocrine and immune cycles.
