**2.6 Epidemiological risk**

In the area of health, several studies on risk are located in the epidemiological area. Briefly, epidemiological risk can be summarized as the probability of the occurrence of a health-related event, estimated from the occurrence of an event that occurred in the recent past. In this way, this risk can be computed by quantifying of times the event occurred divided by the potential number of events that could have happened. In this way, the risk of becoming a disability person in a given population or group of people is the amount of disabilities persons that occurred in the previous period by the number of people existing in that period, since any person or all can potentially become a disabled person.

The definition of the epidemiological risk concept and the method incorporated by the medical area end up defining lifestyles producing meanings that guide behaviors; thus, a form of individual surveillance is articulated in a pulverized, internalized, and less visible way, translated into self-control [22].

In this work, we are considering the risk of a given person becoming a disability person, including a set of health and social factors.
