Abstract
It is noted that host resistance or susceptibility factors are important in determining the probability of contracting many diseases.

Because of its effect on cellular immunity, nutritional stress is proposed as a plausible determinant of increased risk. Specific mechanicsms are discussed and a connection between diverse risk groups is proposed.
