The capacities that develop
in the earliest years may be harder to measure on
tests of kindergarten readiness than abilities like number and letter recognition, but they are precisely the skills, closely related to executive
functions, that researchers have recently determined to be so valuable
in kindergarten and beyond: the ability to focus on a
single activity for an extended period, the ability to understand and follow directions, the ability to cope with disappointment and frustration, the ability to interact capably with other students.
In addition, a 24 - Hour Urine test captures metabolites that are not measurable in saliva and can not be reliably measured by a single, or even multiple, blood draws, e.g., 16α - OH estrone, an estrogen metabolite shown to impact bone loss in men, and a number of glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid metabolites (discussed in Part II of this review) that provide greater insight into long - term adrenal health, short term stress response, the cortisol / cortisone balance, and other measures of adrenal health and function than assessment of cortisol alon
