Physiological Outcomes

Meaning

Physiological outcomes refer to the measurable, objective changes in the structure or function of the body’s tissues, organs, or systems that result from an intervention, disease process, or natural biological state. These are tangible, quantifiable endpoints, such as changes in blood pressure, bone mineral density, hormone concentration, or glucose tolerance. In clinical practice, these outcomes are the primary metrics used to assess the efficacy of a treatment or to track the progression of health and longevity over time. They provide the empirical evidence for the success or failure of a therapeutic strategy.
