Social Status and Health in Humans and Other Animals
Abstract
▪ Abstract Dominance hierarchies exist in numerous social species, and rank in such hierarchies can dramatically influence the quality of an individual's life. Rank can dramatically influence also the health of an individual, particularly with respect to stress-related disease. This chapter reviews first the nature of stress, the stress-response and stress-related disease, as well as the varieties of hierarchical systems in animals. I then review the literature derived from nonhuman species concerning the connections between rank and functioning of the adrenocortical, cardiovascular, reproductive, and immune systems. As shown here, the relationship is anything but monolithic. Finally, I consider whether rank is a relevant concept in humans and argue that socioeconomic status (SES) is the nearest human approximation to social rank and that SES dramatically influences health.

“According to social status research, when individuals are afforded positive status within their cultural institutions, institutions protect against stress and support health (Demakakos et al., 2008; Hatzenbuehler et al., 2013; Sapolsky, 2004). But when institutions relegate individuals into lower statuses, institutions generate stress and derail health (Adler, 2009; Sapolsky, 2004).”

In the citing paper
“For example, Sapolsky’s review of social status and health showed that forced subordination by dominant individuals within social hierarchies inhibits subordinates’ health by imposing physical and psychological stressors and resource inequities on subordinates; which may be perpetuated through unequal institutionalized policies/actions including denial of flexible resources (Link and Phelan, 1995)”

In the citing paper
“Although social subordination is not always associated with physiological indices of stress, it usually involves exposure to high rates of physical and psychological stressors, a tendency toward chronic activation of the stress response, and increased risk for stress-related diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and psychiatric disorders (Sapolsky, 2004).”

“Consequently, having a subordinate social position is associated with immunosuppression (that is, a body's decreased ability to ward off infections) and an increased risk for cardiovascular disease.”

“The idea that a person's social status or social rank is strongly associated with his or her health status has been asserted and examined for decades.”

In the citing paper
“Studies with humans and nonhuman species have found that those with a lower social position in their society experience excessive and persistent stress levels, exhibit stress-related pathologies (for example, depression and hypertension), and display higher morbidity and mortality than those with a higher social standing (Sapolsky, 2004).”

“What is interesting is that when you add social inequality (for example, unequal distribution of wealth or political influence in the larger society) to a low SES, the health outcomes and mortality rates are worse than when you consider poverty in the absence of social inequality.”

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.
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.
