Environmental Factors

Meaning

Environmental Factors comprise the external physical, chemical, and psychosocial elements that persistently interact with human physiology, capable of influencing endocrine regulation and overall wellness outcomes. These factors represent exposures outside the body’s intrinsic homeostatic mechanisms that challenge biological systems. We must consider these external influences when assessing chronic health conditions. They form the context in which our endocrine system operates daily. These elements shape physiological adaptation.
