that climate , crowding and perhaps female gender can affect the probability of exposure to vURTI viruses ,
that stress levels <*> health practices
In this chapter , we review published studies for evidence of CLI risk - modulating factors and report that climate , crowding and perhaps female gender can affect the probability of exposure to vURTI viruses , that extant immunological factors and age can affect the probability of virus infection given exposure , that stress levels ( moderated by social environment ) , health practices ( exercise , tobacco and alcohol consumption , sleep efficiency ) and genetics contribute to CLI risk most probably by modulating the immune - inflammatory response to infection , and that other factors such as pollution , home environment and certain personality traits affect CLI risk by biasing illness interpretation for a given set of symptoms and signs .
