Why Is It Important to Understand Disease Susceptibility?
Understanding disease susceptibility is crucial for several reasons:
1. Targeted Interventions: Identifying at-risk groups allows for targeted health interventions and resource allocation. 2. Preventive Measures: Knowledge of susceptibility can guide the development of vaccines and preventive measures. 3. Policy Making: Data on susceptibility informs public health policies and strategies. 4. Health Education: Educating the public about risk factors and preventive measures can reduce susceptibility.
