The main objective of the study is to assess the sensitivity of the salivary cortisol dosage at 23 hours compared to the serum cortisol dosage at 8 am after overnight 1-mg dexamethasone suppression test (Suppression of serum cortisol \<1.8 μg/dL ) as the reference method for the detection of ACIC in obese subjects

Number of patients with positive salivary cortisol dosage among patients with positive serum cortisol dosage
The main objective of the study is to assess the sensitivity of the salivary cortisol dosage at 23 hours compared to the serum cortisol dosage at 8 am after overnight 1-mg dexamethasone suppression test as the reference method for the detection of ACIC in obese subjects
Number of patients with negative salivary cortisol dosage among patients with negative serum cortisol dosage
To evaluate specificity, negative predictive value, positive predictive value and diagnostic accuracy of salivary cortisol compared to serum cortisol at 8 am after overnight 1-mg dexamethasone suppression test
Comparing the results of salivary cortisol dosage and serum cortisol dosage
To evaluate concordance between salivary cortisol dosage and serum cortisol dosage
Comparing the results of the two salivary samples
To evaluate the concordance of the two salivary samples
Number of patients with metabolic complications of obesity among patients with ACIC
To evaluate the link between ACIC and metabolic complications of obesity (insulin resistance, IFG, type 2 diabetes, NAFLD…)
Number of patients with severe type 2 diabetes among patients with ACIC
To evaluate the relationship between ACIC and severity of type 2 diabetes, if established.
