health trajectories

Health trajectories refer to the patterns of health changes an individual experiences over time. These may include periods of good health, illness, recovery, or declines in health, influenced by factors like genetics, lifestyle, environment, and healthcare access. Analyzing health trajectories helps in understanding how individuals or populations respond to diseases or treatments, guiding healthcare providers in offering personalized care. Essentially, it’s about tracking how health evolves and the factors that impact it throughout a person's life.
