Chronic Disease Susceptibility

Meaning

Chronic Disease Susceptibility refers to an individual’s measurable predisposition to developing long-term, non-communicable health conditions, such as metabolic syndrome, neurodegenerative disorders, or autoimmune disease. This susceptibility is a complex interaction of inherited genetic factors, cumulative epigenetic modifications, and prolonged exposure to detrimental environmental and lifestyle stressors. Clinically evaluating this risk allows for the implementation of highly targeted, preemptive interventions aimed at mitigating future pathology and extending healthspan.
