Psychological Stress and the Human Immune System: A Meta-Analytic Study of 30 Years of Inquiry
TL;DR: The present report meta-analyzes more than 300 empirical articles describing a relationship between psychological stress and parameters of the immune system in human participants to find that physical vulnerability as a function of age or disease also increased vulnerability to immune change during stressors.
Journal ArticleDOI
If it goes up, must it come down? Chronic stress and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical axis in humans.
TL;DR: A meta-analysis showed that much of the variability in HPA activity is attributable to stressor and person features, as hormonal activity is elevated at stressor onset but reduces as time passes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of social relations in health promotion
TL;DR: Acknowledging that health promotion rests on the shoulders not only of individuals but also of their families and communities means that resources must be committed over the next decade to designing, testing, and implementing interventions in this area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stress and immunity in humans: a meta-analytic review.
Tracy B. Herbert,Sheldon Cohen +1 more
TL;DR: The way neuroendocrine mechanisms and health practices might explain immune alteration following stress, and issues that need to be investigated in this area are outlined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stress, depression, the immune system, and cancer

The general-adaptation-syndrome.
TL;DR: General Adaptation Syndrome (G-A-S) as discussed by the authors is a well-known phenomenon in biology, which is defined as the "general response to stress" in which the basic reaction pattern is always the same irrespective of the agent used to produce stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
From the symbolic stimulus to the pathophysiologic response: immune mechanisms.
TL;DR: This work dissects the immunologic system into its components in order to find identifiable targets within disease processes that are stress-responsive, and outlines a variety of influences hormones can play on specific components of each limb of the immune response.
