at risk population definition
In the specific nature of an at risk population the term implies some process or series of predictable events that places the declared group in the path of some future harm. Since the term was taken out of context we do not have any way to address the specifics of the risk process or event.e define high-risk populations as those groups (such as Healthy People 2000âs special populations), which have individual or composite factors that predispose them to poor outcomes. Obviously, the factors differ with the risk category.
