biocultural frameworks

Biocultural frameworks refer to the interconnectedness of biological and cultural factors in shaping human experiences and behaviors. This approach emphasizes that our health, development, and social practices are influenced by both our biological makeup and the cultural environments we live in. For example, dietary habits, health practices, and social norms can vary widely across cultures, impacting physical well-being. By understanding this relationship, researchers and policymakers can create more effective health interventions that consider both biological needs and cultural contexts, leading to better outcomes for communities.
