In terms of psychosocial factors that may affect disease, a dominance hierarchy in monkeys may be seen as analogous to socio-economic-status.

A dominance hierarchy in monkeys involves a social hierarchy where some individuals have higher status and power than others, which can affect their access to resources and potentially their stress levels. Similarly, socio-economic status in humans involves a social hierarchy based on income, education, and occupation, which has been linked to differences in health outcomes and access to healthcare. Therefore, both dominance hierarchy in monkeys and socio-economic status in humans can be considered psychosocial factors that may affect disease.
