   Abstract:
   Biobehavioral relationships encompass the exploration of links between biological, psychosocial, and behavioral factors related to health. The exploration of these relationships is complex and requires multiple methods and conceptualizations to make significant advances to unravel the intricacies of aging. This broadly defined approach desperately needs to incorporate theory-driven explanatory models and help refine how to understand aging from this kind of interdisciplinary perspective. The goal of this chapter is to provide a brief discussion of some of the more obvious and popular models and approaches to studying health from a biobehavioral perspective. The authors will also attempt to compel the reader to consider the implications as well as the strengths and weaknesses of each. © 2010 Springer Publishing Company.
