Stress Hormone Estimator
Stress Hormone Estimator estimates relative stress hormone levels (e.g., cortisol) based on daily stress, sleep duration, exercise frequency, and caffeine intake. Results guide stress management strategies.

Methodology Used in Stress Hormone Estimator
The calculator estimates stress hormone levels using:
1. Stress Score: \\( S = W_s \cdot S_s + W_l \cdot S_l + W_e \cdot S_e + W_c \cdot S_c \\)
2. Level: Low (\\( S \leq 4 \\)), Moderate (4 < \\( S \leq 8 \\)), High (\\( S > 8 \\))
Where:
- \\( S_s \\): Stress level score (low: 1, moderate: 2, high: 3)
- \\( S_l \\): Sleep score (≥7h: 0, 5–7h: 2, <5h: 4)
- \\( S_e \\): Exercise score (≥3: 0, 1–2: 1, 0: 2)
- \\( S_c \\): Caffeine score (<100: 0, 100–400: 1, >400: 2)
- \\( W \\): Weights (1–2, varies by factor)
Reflects cortisol response to lifestyle factors.
Example Calculation
Sample Input
Stress = Moderate, Sleep = 6 hours, Exercise = 2 times/week, Caffeine = 300 mg
Step 1: Scores: \\( S_s = 2 \\), \\( S_l = 2 \\), \\( S_e = 1 \\), \\( S_c = 1 \\)
Step 2: Total: \\( S = 2 \cdot 2 + 1 \cdot 2 + 1 \cdot 1 + 1 \cdot 1 = 8 \\)
Result: Stress Hormone Level = Moderate.
