Risk Profile Stratification

Meaning

Risk Profile Stratification is the clinical process of systematically categorizing individuals into distinct groups based on their probability of developing specific diseases or experiencing adverse health outcomes. This involves a comprehensive analysis of genetic predispositions, lifestyle factors, biochemical biomarkers, and hormonal status to assign a personalized risk level. Stratification is essential for guiding the intensity and nature of preventative and therapeutic interventions, ensuring that high-risk individuals receive the most aggressive and targeted care while avoiding unnecessary interventions for low-risk groups.
