A<unk>  is a "noted discordance between subjective and objective health measures" in a patient. Native American communities have been shown to have incidences of illness tolerance, in part because of the treatment they receive in the healthcare system. In psychopathology, distress tolerance describes "perceived capacity to withstand negative emotional and/or other aversive states". In nature, the immune system of plants has been 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".
