At-risk populations refer to groups of individuals who are more vulnerable to negative health outcomes or social challenges due to various factors. These factors can include socioeconomic status, age, disability, or geographic location. For example, children, the elderly, and those living in poverty are often considered at-risk because they may have limited access to healthcare, education, and other essential resources. Addressing the needs of at-risk populations is crucial for promoting equity and improving overall community health. Programs and policies aimed at supporting these groups often focus on providing access to healthcare, education, and social services to help mitigate risks and enhance their quality of life.
