multifactorial risk assessment

Multifactorial risk assessment is a method used to evaluate the likelihood of an event or outcome by considering multiple factors simultaneously. Instead of looking at a single cause, this approach examines various elements—such as genetics, environment, lifestyle, and behaviors—that can influence risk. For example, in health, it might assess how diet, exercise, family history, and stress levels combine to affect an individual's chance of developing a disease. This comprehensive analysis helps identify those at higher risk and guides personalized prevention strategies.
