Social determinants of health and survival in humans and other animals
BACKGROUND The social environment shapes human health, producing strong
relationships between social factors, disease risk, and survival. The strength of these links …

The epigenetic impacts of social stress: how does social adversity become biologically embedded?
VT Cunliffe - Epigenomics, 2016 - Taylor & Francis
Epigenetic mechanisms are implicated in the processes through which social stressors
erode health in humans and other animals. Here I review progress in elucidating the …

Social status alters immune regulation and response to infection in macaques
Social status is one of the strongest predictors of human disease risk and mortality, and it
also influences Darwinian fitness in social mammals more generally. To understand the …
