susceptibility patterns

Susceptibility patterns refer to the ways in which individuals or groups respond to certain influences, such as disease, environmental factors, or stressors. In health, it describes how likely people are to develop conditions based on their genetic makeup, lifestyle, and exposure to risk factors. For instance, some may be more prone to certain infections due to immune system differences. Understanding susceptibility patterns helps scientists and healthcare professionals identify who might be at greater risk and develop targeted prevention or treatment strategies to improve health outcomes.
