Drawing on allostatic load as a long-term biological consequence of physiological wear-and-tear and an indicator of stress response, we use three different studies to provide a more nuanced understanding of the relationship between self-employment and physiological outcomes. In Study 1, based on a sample of 194 self-employed and 1511 employed individuals, we find that self-employment is marginally related to allostatic load and allostatic load marginally mediates the relationship between self-employment and physical, but not mental, health. Study 2, based on a sample of 776 self-employed and 8003 employed individuals, extends these findings, and provides evidence that those who are self-employed for longer periods have a higher allostatic load. Finally, in Study 3 we draw on a sample of 174 twins and, consistent with Study 2, show that those reporting self-employment in two waves (about eight years apart) had a higher allostatic load, however, when leveraging problem-focused coping such individuals experienced lower allostatic load. Taken together, these three studies extend our understanding of the relationship between self-employment and wellbeing.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":4.574710978503383,"endowment":4.574710978503383,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"19767382","pmcid":null,"openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2805386402","authors":[],"funders":[{"funder_name":"National Institute on Aging","grant_id":"P01-AG020166","title":null},{"funder_name":"National institute on Aging","grant_id":"U19-AG051426","title":null},{"funder_name":"National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences","grant_id":"UL1TR001409","title":null},{"funder_name":"National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences","grant_id":"UL1TR001881","title":null},{"funder_name":"National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences","grant_id":"1UL1RR025011","title":null}],"total_grants":5,"fwci":10.2659,"citation_percentile":0.98563797,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2019,"count":1},{"year":2020,"count":18},{"year":2021,"count":20},{"year":2022,"count":13},{"year":2023,"count":12},{"year":2024,"count":20},{"year":2025,"count":10},{"year":2026,"count":2}],"oa_status":"hybrid","license":"cc-by-nc-nd","oa_locations":[{"url":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0883902617304597/pdf","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0883902617304597/pdf","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S0883902617304597?httpAccept=text/xml","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://api.elsevier.com/content/article/PII:S0883902617304597?httpAccept=text/plain","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbusvent.2018.05.004","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/facpub/9085","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0883902617304597","host_type":"repository"}],"fields_of_study":["Eating Disorders and Behaviors","Workplace Health and Well-being","Employment and Welfare Studies"],"mesh_terms":[],"keywords":["Allostatic load","Allostasis","Coping (psychology)","Psychology","Sample (material)","Mental health","Physical health","Clinical psychology","Psychiatry"],"sdg_mappings":[{"sdg_number":0,"sdg_label":"Decent work and economic growth"}],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-08-02T23:03:21.250635Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
