diathesis
This term is primarily used in clinical and medical contexts to describe an innate vulnerability to a disease. It differs from a "risk factor," which can be environmental or behavioral; a diathesis is specifically constitutional or genetic, implying a biological blueprint that makes a person susceptible to certain pathologies.
In psychiatric and psychological frameworks, the term is central to the diathesis-stress model. This model posits that a disorder emerges from the interaction between a pre-existing biological vulnerability and external stressors, meaning the diathesis alone may not cause the disease without a triggering event.
