Could teacher-perceived parental interest be an important factor in understanding how education relates to later physiological health? A life course approach. by Camille Joannès, Raphaële Castagné, Benoit Lepage, Cyrille Delpierre, Michelle Kelly-Irving

“…Education is associated with later health, and notably with an indicator of physiological health measuring the cost of adapting to stressful conditions, named allostatic load. Education is itself the result of a number of upstream variables. …”

Social adversity in adolescence increases the physiological vulnerability to job strain in adulthood: a prospective population-based study. by Hugo Westerlund, Per E Gustafsson, Töres Theorell, Urban Janlert, Anne Hammarström

Intragenerational social mobility and well-being in Great Britain: a biomarker approach by Präg, P, Fritsch, N-S, Richards, L

“…However, in terms of the effects of mobility itself, we find that intragenerational social mobility is consequential for allostatic load, but not for self-rated health. Downward mobility is detrimental and upward mobility beneficial for well-being as assessed by allostatic load. …”

Neighborhood disadvantage and biological aging biomarkers among breast cancer patients by Jie Shen, Bernard F. Fuemmeler, Vanessa B. Sheppard, Harry D. Bear, Renduo Song, Wong-Ho Chow, Hua Zhao

“…Anderson, we examined whether levels of selected markers of biological aging (e.g., allostatic load, telomere length, and global DNA methylation) were affected by neighborhood disadvantage. …”

Clinical correlates of stress, immune and metabolic markers in major depression by V. Soria

“…Results from isolated biomarkers and allostatic load measures based on the stress response system (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, autonomic nervous system and immuno-metabolic biomarkers) and its relationships with clinical outcomes, such as cognition, in a clinical sample of major depression patients will be presented. …”

Climate change is a major stressor causing poor pregnancy outcomes and child development [version 1; peer review: 3 approved] by David M. Olson, Gerlinde A.S. Metz

“…It accelerates the increase in allostatic load of those at risk. The path of tragedy begins with an accumulating allostatic load that overwhelms both individual and socio-ecological resilience. …”

No additional stress of sublethal gas supersaturation in a landlocked population of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) exposed to environmental acidification by Erik Höglund, Lifen Zhou Loland, Rolf Høgberget, Peter Vilhelm Skov, Gaute Velle

A POSSIBLE EXPLANATION FOR NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASE by Richard A. Armstrong

“…The explanation proposes that genetic and environmental risk factors act cumulatively over a lifetime to increase an individual’s ‘allostatic load’, which determines the overall rate of neural ageing. …”

Linking the Extended Autonomic System with the Homeostat Theory: New Perspectives about Dysautonomias by David S. Goldstein

“…Sustained allostatic processes increase long-term wear-and-tear on effectors and organs—allostatic load. They decreaseing thresholds for destabilizing and potentially fatal positive feedback loops. …”

Glucocorticoid-Mediated Developmental Programming of Vertebrate Stress Responsivity by Ian M. Gans, Ian M. Gans, James A. Coffman, James A. Coffman

“…Chronic stress can alter signaling dynamics via imperfect physiological adaptation that changes systemic and/or cellular set points, resulting in chronically elevated cortisol levels and increased allostatic load, which undermines health and promotes development of disease. …”

Stress induced proinflammatory adaptations: Plausible mechanisms for the link between stress and cardiovascular disease by Aaron L. Slusher, Aaron L. Slusher, Edmund O. Acevedo

“…Initiating from Hans Selye’s conceptualization of stress physiology, to our present understanding of allostatic load as the cumulative burden of chronic psychological stress and life events, investigators have sought to identify the physiological mechanisms that link stress to health and disease. …”

What Is the Confusion With Cortisol? by Bruce S. McEwen

“…This commentary provides a brief overview not only of the diverse roles of cortisol but also of how to measure it to get meaningful information in the context of other mediators of stress and adaptation and the concepts of allostasis and allostatic load and overload. In particular, the adaptive plasticity of the brain mediated by glucocorticoids and excitatory amino acids is discussed in relation to misconceptions about what constitutes brain damage. …”

The weight balancing act and allostasis: Commentary on the Homeostatic Theory of Obesity by Emily Brindal, Gary Wittert

“…Whatever else is done, it is likely that to meaningfully address the epidemic of obesity and associated chronic disease will require policy and regulation as well as targeted behavioural strategies aiming to reduce allostatic load.…”

Residential ventilation and carcinogenesis by Shireesh Apte

“…Acute exposure to CO2 levels as low as 600 ppm, which are commonly exceeded in indoor air, causes increased allostatic load and adverse physiological effects. Given the well-established role of oxygen sensing pathways in cancer, and the recent acidosis independent role of CO2 in modulating immune and inflammation linking pathways, it seems obligatory to validate (or not) the effects of long-term inspired elevated CO2 on the modulation of carcinogenesis.…”
