Psychophysiological health in the process of allostatic load: a theoretical aspect
Annotation
The relevance of the article is determined by the significant impact of chronic stress on health, despite its seemingly low intensity. The research focuses on the pathophysiological mechanisms associated with the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and the autonomic nervous system. The impact of long-term stress on key body systems is analyzed: cardiovascular, immune, digestive, nervous, and endocrine. The phenomenon of allostatic load is considered as a central integrative indicator. The work confirms the necessity of developing effective stress coping strategies for everyday life.
