Allostatic (over)Load Measurement: Workflow and repository

Researchers have long studied allostatic (over)load as an estimated measure of individual cumulative stress over a lifetime. Often called the overall ‘wear and tear’ from social and environmental stressors, allostatic (over)load shows promise as a practical indicator of general health trends in community settings. This data processing workflow aims to document our overall approach and reasoning when calculating allostatic (over)load for data analysis and knowledge sharing.
