Short description: |
The man (as well as other organisms) lives in an environment and this environment exerts certain effects on the body. All biological systems must self-regulate in the context of changing environmental demands. At the simplest level of agreement, “stress” involves some environmental stimulus that produces a reaction in a living organism that may be either favorable or unfavorable to the organism. The term, “stress”, should be understand both as an environmental stimulus and as the response to an environmental stimulus. Physiological disruption resulting from impoverished environmental circumstances is central to the study of health, lifestyle and social status. Use of multiple indicators gives a comprehensive understanding of stress and adaptation in the past and contemporary. |
