Blood pressure is a key cardiovascular biomarker used to calculate the composite score for allostatic load as described in [1] and [2], and it is a physiological response to stress that contributes to the accumulation of allostatic load over time as noted in [3].

Homeostasis vs. Allostasis: Why Your Body Needs More Than Stability trueself.health 1 fact
claimWhen the sympathetic nervous system (the 'fight-or-flight' system) is activated by stress, respiration rate increases, breathing becomes shallow and rapid, heart rate increases, blood pressure spikes, and cortisol levels rise, which contributes to allostatic load over time.

procedureHealthcare professionals measure allostatic load in clinical practice by assessing a composite score derived from biomarkers including neuroendocrine markers (e.g., cortisol), cardiovascular markers (e.g., blood pressure, heart rate variability), metabolic markers (e.g., glucose, lipid profile), and inflammatory markers (e.g., C-reactive protein).

claimBiomedical literature commonly estimates allostatic load by generating a score based on metrics including blood pressure, human low density lipoprotein (HLDL) cholesterol, and glycosylated hemoglobin.
