Allostatic load and biological anthropology
Open accessAbstract
Multiple stressors affect developing and adult organisms, thereby partly structuring their phenotypes. Determining how stressors influence health, well-being, and longevity in human and nonhuman primate populations are major foci within biological anthropology. Although much effort has been devoted to examining responses to multiple environmental and sociocultural stressors, no holistic metric to measure stress-related physiological dysfunction has been widely applied within biological anthropology. Researchers from disciplines outside anthropology are using allostatic load indices (ALIs) to estimate such dysregulation and examine life-long outcomes of stressor exposures, including morbidity and mortality. Following allostasis theory, allostatic load represents accumulated physiological and somatic damage secondary to stressors and senescent processes experienced over the lifespan. ALIs estimate this wear-and-tear using a composite of biomarkers representing neuroendocrine, cardiovascular, metabolic, and immune systems. Across samples, ALIs are associated significantly with multiple individual characteristics (e.g., age, sex, education, DNA variation) of interest within biological anthropology. They also predict future outcomes, including aspects of life history variation (e.g., survival, lifespan), mental and physical health, morbidity and mortality, and likely health disparities between groups, by stressor exposures, ethnicity, occupations, and degree of departure from local indigenous life ways and integration into external and commodified ones. ALIs also may be applied to similar stress-related research areas among nonhuman primates. Given the reports from multiple research endeavors, here we propose ALIs may be useful for assessing stressors, stress responses, and stress-related dysfunction, current and long-term cognitive function, health and well-being, and risk of early mortality across many research programs within biological anthropology.
Overview

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
This review argues that allostatic load indices (ALIs) offer a holistic, multisystem biomarker measure of cumulative stress-related physiological dysregulation for biological anthropology. It summarizes human and nonhuman primate evidence and proposes ALIs for research on development, health, morbidity/mortality, and primate welfare.
Key findings
- The original ALI operationalized by Seeman et al. (1997) used 10 biomarkers across neuroendocrine, cardiovascular, and metabolic systems, scoring each individual 0–10 based on how many biomarkers fell in the highest-risk quartile.
- ALIs typically include 8–14 biomarkers, though some use as few as 2 or as many as 18; Juster et al. (2010) counted 51 different biomarkers across 58 research reports.
- Across samples, higher allostatic load is associated with older age, lower SES/education, poorer physical performance, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, cognitive decline, and increased mortality risk; associations with sex and stressful events are sample-dependent.
- In an illustrative captive western lowland gorilla ALI using seven biomarkers (albumin, cortisol, CRH, DHEA-S, glucose, IL-6, TNF-a), females had twofold higher allostatic load than males; allostatic load was associated with age, lifetime stressful events, creatinine, triglycerides, and mortality risk when age was included as a covariate.
Methods
- Narrative review and synthesis of allostasis theory, stress-response physiology, ALI construction, and applications across human and nonhuman primate research; no new primary data were collected.
- Reviews methodological variation in ALIs, including quartile vs. decile vs. clinical cut-points, medication adjustments, sex-specific cut-points, two-tailed cut-points, z-score comparisons, and scoring by system vs. biomarker.
- Uses published examples, including the authors’ gorilla ALI studies (Edes et al., 2016a, 2016b), to illustrate possible applications in biological anthropology.
Limitations
- The paper states there is no “gold standard” ALI: different biomarkers and construction methods are used, and ALIs from different samples are not directly comparable because they rely on sample-specific distributions and risk criteria.
- The paper states clinical cut-points are problematic for subclinical risk assessment and for non-Western populations, and that childhood ALIs are challenging because developmental changes in stress-mediating systems are not necessarily linear.
- Evident from the text: this is a narrative review rather than a systematic review or meta-analysis, and its proposals for broader ALI use in biological anthropology and nonhuman primates are not yet empirically tested across most of the discussed contexts.

The Results report an inverse association between birth weight and allostatic load in both men and women in the cohort. For men, those in the highest birth-weight quartile had a lower allostatic-load score than those in the lowest quartile, supporting the claim about lower birth weight and higher adult allostatic load.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-11-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-11-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
