<div>So, I would expect a mild loss of adrenal mass in
response to the completely laid-back lifestyle. You are
however unlikely to experience severe adrenal atrophy,
since even under perfectly non-stressful circumstances
there is a basal HPA activity level that keeps your
adrenals going.</div>

And that basal activity is also set to some extent by basic
personality - it has relatively little to do with actual
circumstances. Stressed people find ways to be stressed even in
total retirement, laid-back people relax while working. <br><span><font color="#888888">
