Quizplus · Accepted Answer

As wear and tear on the brain and body occurs, there is a corresponding increase in the number of abnormal biologic parameters called allostatic load. Allostatic load is measured by the cumulative changes of the biologic regulatory systems as indicated by abnormal laboratory values. Nuclear imaging studies, bone radiographs, and cardiac studies are not used to measure allostatic load.
