Morbidity risk

Morbidity risk refers to the likelihood of individuals experiencing health problems or illnesses over a certain period. It is an important measure for assessing how various factors, such as age, lifestyle, or genetics, can affect someone's overall health. For example, if a study shows a high morbidity risk for heart disease in a specific population, it means that there is a significant chance that people in that group may develop heart-related health issues. Understanding morbidity risk helps in planning healthcare resources and interventions to improve public health outcomes.
