Background Adolescents can experience heightened stress due to biopsychosocial
changes that occur during this developmental stage. The 'wear and tear'of the physiological …

Health risk behaviours (HRB) across the lifespan have been associated with higher
cumulative physiological burden as measured by allostatic load (AL). This study examines …

Introduction Allostatic load, a measure of stress-related physiologic dysregulation, is
associated with numerous mortality risk factors. This systematic review and meta-analysis …

Allostatic load reflects the cumulative effects of stressful experiences in daily life and may
lead to disease over time. When the cost of chronic exposure to fluctuating or heightened …

Introduction Despite the understanding of allostatic load (AL) as a consequence of ongoing
adaptation to stress, studies of the stress–AL association generally focus on a narrow …

Allostatic load is a commonly used metric of health risk based on the hypothesis that
recurrent exposure to environmental demands (eg, stress) engenders a progressive …

The allostatic load model expands the stress-disease literature by proposing a temporal
cascade of multi-systemic physiological dysregulations that contribute to disease …

The theoretical constructs of allostasis and allostatic load (AL) have contributed to our
understanding of how constantly changing social and environmental factors impact …

The Allostatic Load Index (ALI) has been used to establish associations between stress and
health-related outcomes. This review summarizes the measurement and methodological …

The building of life stress, well expressed by the concept of allostatic load, plays an
important part in all phases of endocrine illness. Allostatic load refers to the cumulative …
