Migration Influences on the Allostatic Load of Children: Systematic Review Protocol
BACKGROUND Migration is a worldwide phenomenon in recent times. Recently, documented studies suggest that the change in environments involved in migration may have an influence on children's allostatic load related to health and well-being. OBJECTIVE The aim of this review is to systematically search the extant literature and critically examine the evidence on how migration affects allostatic...
متن کاملAllostatic load: a mechanism of socioeconomic health disparities?
Although research on health disparities has been prioritized by the National Institutes of Health, the Institute of Medicine, and Healthy People 2010, little has been published that examines the biology underlying health disparities. Allostatic load is a multisystem construct theorized to quantify stress-induced biological risk. Differences in allostatic load may reflect differences in stress e...
متن کاملAllostatic load biomarkers of chronic stress and impact on health and cognition.
The allostatic load model expands the stress-disease literature by proposing a temporal cascade of multi-systemic physiological dysregulations that contribute to disease trajectories. By incorporating an allostatic load index representing neuroendocrine, immune, metabolic, and cardiovascular system functioning, numerous studies have demonstrated greater prediction of morbidity and mortality ove...
متن کاملAllostatic load as a tool for monitoring physiological dysregulations and comorbidities in patients with severe mental illnesses.
Severe mental illnesses like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are disabling, chronic conditions that are often accompanied by medical comorbidities. In this theoretical article, we review the allostatic load model representing the "wear and tear" that chronic stress exacts on the brain and body. We propose an innovative way of monitoring physical and psychiatric comorbidities by integrating t...
متن کاملUnderstanding Migraine through the Lens of Maladaptive Stress Responses: A Model Disease of Allostatic Load
The brain and body respond to potential and actual stressful events by activating hormonal and neural mediators and modifying behaviors to adapt. Such responses help maintain physiological stability ("allostasis"). When behavioral or physiological stressors are frequent and/or severe, allostatic responses can become dysregulated and maladaptive ("allostatic load"). Allostatic load may alter bra...
