disease susceptibility

Disease susceptibility refers to how likely an individual is to develop a specific illness based on various factors. These factors can include genetics (inherited traits), environmental influences (like pollution or lifestyle), and overall health (immune system strength). Some people may be more prone to certain diseases because of their family history, age, or existing health conditions. Understanding disease susceptibility helps researchers and healthcare providers identify at-risk individuals, promote prevention strategies, and tailor treatments effectively, ultimately aiming to improve health outcomes and reduce illness.
