ABSTRACT. The mainstay of the paper is formed by an analysis of the decisive function of stressors in exacerbating social status disparities in both physical and mental health, the connections among the health conducts and their link to the gender gulf, and gender imparities in health standing. The results of the current study converge with prior research on the social distributions and health effects of exposure to stress, the intricate models of gender dissimilarities in health, and the dynamic social relations of gender. pp. 65–70
