Tolerated Illness

A Tolerated Illness is a "noted discordance between subjective and objective health measures" in a patient.[citation needed]

Native American communities have been shown to have incidences of illness tolerance, in part because of the treatment they receive in the healthcare system. [1] [2]In psychopathology, distress tolerance describes "perceived capacity to withstand negative emotional and/or other aversive states". [3]

In nature, the immune system of plants have shown to protect against pathogens through a strategy of tolerance. This defense "decreases the host susceptibility to tissue damage, or other fitness costs, caused by the pathogens or by the immune response against them". [4]
