Susceptibility is often assessed through a variety of epidemiological methods, including:
Cohort Studies: These studies follow a group of individuals over time to see how different factors influence the development of disease. Case-Control Studies: These studies compare individuals with a disease (cases) to those without it (controls) to identify factors that may influence susceptibility. Cross-sectional Studies: These studies analyze data from a population at a single point in time to identify prevalence and associated factors of disease. Genetic Screening: Advanced genetic tests can identify individuals with mutations that make them more susceptible to certain diseases.
