Physiological homeostasis maintains equilibrium at set-points using feedback loops for optimum functioning of the organism. Long-term imbalances in homeostasis arise though genetic, environmental or biopsychosocial mechanisms causing illness and/or loss of well-being.
The body maintains a stable internal environment through feedback mechanisms called homeostatic control. When these systems are disrupted by genetic, environmental, or psychological factors, it can lead to health problems and reduced quality of life.
