lifetime risk

the odds that one will be diagnosed with a disease or condition during one’s lifetime (usually stated in terms of 70 to 85 years). It is often important for individuals undergoing genetic counseling to differentiate lifetime risk from the risk of being diagnosed with the disease in the next 5 or 10 years.
