Social Inequalities in Health in Nonhuman Primates, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2016 The Biology of the Gradient Developments in Primatology: Progress and Prospects Series
Langue : Anglais
Coordonnateurs : Shively Carol A., Wilson Mark E.
This book provides a comprehensive look at nonhuman primate social inequalities as models for health differences associated with socioeconomic status in humans. The benefit of the socially-housed monkey model is that it provides the complexity of hierarchical structure and rank affiliation, i.e. both negative and positive aspects of social status. At the same time, nonhuman primates are more amenable to controlled experiments and more invasive studies that can be used in human beings to examine the effects of low status on brain development, neuroendocrine function, immunity, and eating behavior. Because all of these biological and behavioral substrates form the underpinnings of human illness, and are likely shared among primates, the nonhuman primate model can significantly advance our understanding of the best interventions in humans.

Analyzes the deleterious effects of social stress, which increases morbidity and mortality from all of the illnesses that most commonly plague humans
Focuses on nonhuman primate models, providing easy translation to human health concerns
Focuses on social inequalities in health in a species other than our own, emphasizing the biology of social class common to all, not just some races, ethnicities, or levels of education
