Vulnerable Populations

Meaning

Vulnerable Populations, in the clinical and public health context, refers to distinct groups of individuals who are at a significantly higher risk of adverse health outcomes, including hormonal disorders, due to systemic barriers, socioeconomic disadvantages, or limited access to quality healthcare. These populations may include the elderly, individuals with low socioeconomic status, certain ethnic or racial minorities, and those with pre-existing complex chronic conditions. Addressing the unique hormonal health needs of these groups requires empathetic, targeted clinical strategies.
