Key Points Question Is there an association among allostatic load (AL), social determinants of health (SDHs), and overall mortality in patients with metastatic non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)?

Meaning These findings suggest that AL should be considered as a biological correlate of SDHs and a prognostic marker for overall mortality among patients with metastatic NSCLC.
