What is the environmental factor?

The environmental factor consists of a person’s lifestyle, from their habits, diet, drug consumption, pollution of their place of residence, stress, etc.

These factors have a strong impact on the development of complex diseases, being in most cases even more relevant than the genetic factor.

That is why lifestyle changes are recommended in many cases to prevent the onset of a pathology and its subsequent control. Similarly, in genetics, complex diseases are referred to as vulnerabilities due to so many variables.
