Abstract
⺠In a US sample, life course patterns of socioeconomic adversity were examined as predictors of a multi-system allostatic load index. ⺠Greater cumulative life course socioeconomic adversity is linked to higher allostatic load in later adulthood. ⺠Findings also suggest a potential protective effect of upward mobility on allostatic load levels in adulthood.
