Preferred term

allostatic load  

Definition

  • There is a need to develop a biological framework in which to conceptualize and measure the cumulative impact of social status, income, education, working and living environments, lifestyle, health-related behaviors, and stressful life experiences on physical and mental health and the progression of a number of diseases. Such a framework would aid social scientists in studying important questions, such as how socioeconomic status (SES) gets “under the skin” and affects health.
