Health Risk

Health risk refers to the likelihood or probability of an individual experiencing harm or adverse health effects due to various factors. These factors can include lifestyle choices (such as diet and exercise), environmental exposures (like pollution or chemicals), genetic predispositions, and underlying health conditions. Health risks can manifest in various forms, including diseases, injuries, or mental health issues.

Identifying and assessing health risks is crucial for prevention and management strategies in public health, medicine, and personal healthcare. By understanding health risks, individuals and healthcare professionals can make informed decisions about interventions, lifestyle changes, and screening processes to mitigate those risks and promote overall health and well-being.
