Several factors determine the susceptibility of a receptor population. These include:
Genetic factors: Certain populations may have genetic predispositions that make them more vulnerable to specific diseases. Environmental factors: Exposure to pollutants, climate conditions, and living conditions can influence susceptibility. Behavioral factors: Lifestyle choices such as diet, physical activity, and smoking can affect disease risk. Socioeconomic status: Access to healthcare, education, and resources plays a significant role in disease susceptibility.
