Engel in 1977, to help understand the complexity between biological, psychological and social factors. According to the Biopsychosocial Model, health is determined by the reciprocal interactions between biology (e.g., genetics, physical development, family health history), psychology (e.g., mental health, identity developmental, attitudes), and social (e.g., family, peers, school, social supports) factors. Sections cover brain development, genetics, hormones, nutrition, exercise, physical growth and puberty.
