O’Donnell, MBA,MPH, PhD, © 2010 17 Social Evaluative Threat may be the underlying cause Inequality causes people to judge themselves negatively relative to other people Social evaluative threat triggers release of cortisol and pro-inflammatory cytokines. Cortisol impedes immune functions, increases the risk of heart disease, and threatens other physiological systems. Chronic inflammation has been linked to increased rates of autoimmune disorders including rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and polymyalgia rheumatica; asthma; the inflammatory bowel diseases ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease; cardiovascular disease; bacterial endocarditis; cancer; urinary infections; and cystitis, and may increase the risk of a squamous cell bladder cancer. Defending one's honor becomes more important, and can lead to physical injuries caused by fighting and the additional stress caused by hostile interactions. Importance of maintaining status increases the social pressure to divert limited financial resources from food, rent, utilities, medical care, and other necessities of basic living that will preserve good health to buying nice clothes, cars, toys for kids, or entertainment to raise status, or to drugs, alcohol, or cigarettes to help cope with the stress.
