Sumario:• Rural residence is associated with allostatic load levels by age groups. • Allostatic load is higher among rural adults with the exception of the oldest age group. • Evidence of a rural-urban convergence in allostatic load levels among oldest old. • These rural disadvantages remained strong even when accounting for covariates. • The study of allostatic load can improve our understanding of rural disparities.
