“…For example, impaired glucose tolerance has been demonstrated in a variety of apparently nondiabetic clinical states. Among these are psychologic disorders, cancer, hypertension, hyperlipidemias, atherosclerosis, arteriosclerosis, coronary heart disease, obesity, gout, pregnancy, congenital malformations or anomalies, sterility, drug suppression of ovulation, eye and skin diseases, infectious disorders, multiple sclerosis, peptic ulcer, renal failure, liver disease, hyperthyroidism, osteoporosis, pulmonary emphysema, tic douloureux and aging (17). In fact, the evidence implicates every tissue, organ and system which has been studied.…”

Attempts to predict disease susceptibility have led to the development of proneness profiles. The diagnostic factors include age, sex, weight, blood pressure, blood biochemical values, and dietary habits. Persons with one chronic disorder sooner or later have other chronic ailments. Thus there must be common denominators in seemingly different patterns of proneness. This is illustrated by the well established coronary proneness profile and by the less well developed cancer profile. What is urgently needed is a proneness profile designed to anticipate the syndrome of sickness. There is a very ancient belief that health is a simple state to be obtained by observing a few simple positive and negative rules … But it follows from the complexity of the body that health cannot be a simple state … Because there are literally thousands of ways of being ill, to be well one has to be well in thousands of ways at once.

“…A further complication is that almost every test gives findings that can be related to many different disorders. For example, a decrease in glucose tolerance is characteristic of many diverse and allegedly nondiabetic syndromes (Table 1) (7). Hence, it seems more tenable that abnormal biochemical findings in the ill‐defined incubation stages of disease are more likely to be a measure of the syndrome of sickness than of a specific, sharply defined disorder.…”
