Allostasis (literally “stability through change”) is a key concept for understanding how human behavior and physiological adaptation are related. The continuous variation in arterial blood pressure is an exemplar of allostasis. The purpose of this article is to describe theoretical and methodological developments that have led to an improved biocultural understanding of arterial blood pressure responses to everyday life in humans using allostasis as a paradigm. Arterial pressure variation is directly related to lifestyle, or more specifically, the things that people do, think, and experience in their daily lives. Allostatic patterns of arterial pressure variation also change with life‐history events. Patterns are altered as people age and take on differing social roles, and patterns vary between men and women. The cumulative effects of allostasis is the development of allostatic load, or a “wearing out” of the system. Studies have linked allostatic load to the development of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). However, the rate and trajectory of allostatic load through adult life is effectively dictated by developmental and evolutionary processes that impact allostasis and will vary among populations as a consequence of developmental, heritable, environmental, and cultural differences. Allostasis is the paradigm for biocultural studies of arterial blood pressure. [allostasis, adaptation, blood pressure, life history, biocultural]

异体平衡和适应：整合生活方式，生活史和血压变化的生物文化过程

异体吸收（字面上的“通过变化带来的稳定性”）是理解人类行为与生理适应性之间关系的关键概念。动脉血压的连续变化是同种异体症的典范。本文的目的是描述理论和方法学的发展，这些发展已导致人们利用异体稳态作为范式，提高了对人类日常生活中动脉血压反应的生物文化理解。动脉压变化直接与生活方式有关，或更具体地说，与人们在日常生活中所做的事情，思想和经验有关。动脉压变化的同构模式也随着生活史事件而改变。模式随着人们的年龄变化和承担不同的社会角色而发生变化，男女之间的模式也有所不同。防潮作用的累积作用是产生静力负荷或系统“磨损”。研究已将恒负荷与心血管疾病（CVD）的发展联系在一起。但是，成年生活中的同种异体负荷的速率和轨迹由影响同种异体的发育和进化过程有效地决定，并且由于发育，遗传，环境和文化差异，种群之间的差异也将有所不同。同种异体是用于动脉血压的生物文化研究的范例。[ 成人生活中的同种异体负荷的速率和轨迹由影响同种异体的发育和进化过程有效地决定，并且由于发育，遗传，环境和文化差异，种群之间的差异也将有所不同。同种异体是用于动脉血压的生物文化研究的范例。[ 成人生活中的同种异体负荷的速率和轨迹由影响同种异体的发育和进化过程有效地决定，并且由于发育，遗传，环境和文化差异，种群之间的差异也将有所不同。同种异体是用于动脉血压的生物文化研究的范例。[同种异体，适应，血压，生活史，生物文化]
