Allostatic load was most strongly related to biological age, which is an age-linked measure calculated using some of the same biomarkers as allostatic load. At Wave 1, higher allostatic load was related to older biological age, with a moderate effect size (r [SE] = 展开 ...
People who hadlower-paying jobsmight have hadworse access to health care and healthy food. They might live in more polluted neighborhoods or have lives that are less intellectually stimulating.The stress of being low on the socioeconomic totem poleraises levels ofallostatic load—a measure of stre...
One particular concept that has become well-established in the literature is the concept of allostatic load (referring to the cumulative burden of chronic stress and adverse life events) with its suggested allostatic load index (ALI) [9]. ALI is a cumulative multi-system risk score based on ph...
The second outcome of interest is activity limitations. Questions assessing functional limitations were more reliable and directly comparable across surveys. Therefore, our measure of functional activity limitations was re-coded as a binary variable in both datasets, with 1 indicating a reported activity ...

We are constantly being played by our minds when we allow them to distract us with text and email notifications. Or when we allow it to tell usself-comparisonstories about how our business will never measure up to our competitors, or that we’ll never be able to run a marathon, or that...
AL partially mediated the association between measures of SEP and an objective measure of physiological functioning: performance on the Timed Up and Go (TUG test). We conclude that AL may represent the more promising candidate for understanding the pervasive link between SEP and health....
Is the subjective cognitive decline an indirect measure of stress burden? A combined assessment of allostatic load, cortisol reactivity and perceived stress among older adults Objectives In memory clinics, patients with significant memory complaints without objective neuropsychological findings are common. The...
excessive alcohol consumption was used. A single measure of self-rated health is used in some papers and included as measures of depressiveness and anxiety as they have been shown to strongly contribute to self-rated health [24]. One paper used cortisol awakening response [58] as a measure ...
Mattering (to feel valued and add value to self and others) is a fundamental human experience and mechanism in recovery. In this paper, we concern ourselves with the recovery of older adults with substance problems. This population is on the rise in many
