Comparing Predictors and Outcomes of Higher Allostatic Load across Zoo-Housed African Great Apes

Comparing Predictors and Outcomes of Higher Allostatic Load across Zoo-Housed African Great Apes

Stressors over the lifespan can contribute to physiological dysregulation, or allostatic load. Allostatic load has been studied in humans using allostatic load indices (ALIs) for over 25 years, but the same methods are rarely applied to other species. We constructed an ALI for zoo-housed western low...
