Environmental and health behaviour interaction:

  • Environmental factors and health behaviours can interact when a person living in an area with limited access to fresh food (environmental factor) is more likely to consume processed foods (health behaviour), potentially leading to nutritional deficiencies.

Socioeconomic and biomedical interaction:

  • Socioeconomic characteristics and biomedical factors interact when a person with low income (socioeconomic factor) may have limited resources to manage a genetic predisposition to diabetes (biomedical factor), resulting in poorer disease management.
