Which two factors can influence an individual's nutritional status according to the context of physiological and psychological aspects?
Digestion efficiency and emotional state
Nutritional status is influenced by biological (physiological) and mental (psychological) factors in addition to social and economic ones.
A physiological factor — how well food is digested and absorbed — directly fixes how many nutrients actually enter the body.
A psychological factor — emotional state — shapes appetite, food choices and mealtime behaviour and so alters intake.
Food cost, climate, physical activity, geography, appetite changes and cultural beliefs are social, economic or environmental factors, not the physiological + psychological pair asked for.
Hence, Digestion efficiency and emotional state.
