The objective of this study was the standardization of statistical analyses of the projects carried out by the Labeest. Saliva samples were collected along a week of physician residents, interns. Analysis was performed between years of residence and between different days in the same year. Tests of normality followed by parametric and nonparametric analyses where appropriate, the value of p ≤ 5 was indicative of significance between the data. There were differences between years and days evaluated.

Cortisol is a hormone that presents ritmicity, with higher levels in the morning and lower levels at night. Alterations in the amounts and ritmicity of cortisol production are mainly due to chronic distress. We evaluate the cortisol levels from undergraduate students from two different studies in development in Labeest. Samples were taken in different moments: in the morning and before sleep. The students show ritmicity in cortisol production, with lower levels at night.
