Obesity dipped slightly in U.S. adults last year for the first time in more than a decade, a study found. The researchers suggested that might be due, in part, to the rise of weight loss drugs ...
Indices of allostatic load are diverse across studies and are frequently assessed differently, using different biomarkers and different methods of assembling an allostatic load index. Allostatic load is not unique to humans and may be used to evaluate the physiological effects of chronic or frequent stress in non-human primates as well. [14]
