Abstract
Chronic exposure to war-related trauma altered children's hormonal and immune markers, especially in early adolescence, compared with late childhood. Levels of cortisol, oxytocin and secretory immunoglobulin-A among children and their mothers, together with their dyadic relationship, mediate the link between war exposure and children's anxiety symptoms.
