Define Physiological and Socio Psychological Factors - public nutrition?
Food related behaviour depends on a combination of biochemical factors, mainly, physiological aspects and socio-psychological factors. Hunger and satiety are physiological functions, which are dependent on the internal stimuli.
These two zones of biological difference are influenced by non-physiological factor called the appetite control. This factor is dependent on the environment in which man lives and determines the food practices. The cultural and social values, the economic conditions and educational levels or other personal factors are reflected in the food practices and habits of its people.
