- Title
The monkey puzzle: a systematic review of studies of stress, social hierarchies, and heart disease in monkeys.

- Abstract
It is often suggested that psychosocial factors, such as stress, or one's social position, may play an important role in producing social gradients in human disease. Evidence in favour of this model of health inequalities has relied, in part, on studies of the health effects of the natural social hierarchies found among non-human primates. This study aimed to assess the strength of this evidence.
