Understanding Susceptibility: How Vulnerability Can Affect Our Health and Security
Susceptibility is a term that refers to the likelihood or probability of a person or thing being affected or harmed by a particular condition or agent. In the context of medicine, susceptibility refers to a person’s vulnerability to a particular disease or condition. Factors that can contribute to susceptibility include genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors. For example, a person with a family history of heart disease may be more susceptible to developing the condition, while a person who smokes and has a high-fat diet may also be at a greater risk.
