      Hi again elsie,
      That’s a great question. It depends on the disease. I think that your heart and blood vessels seem to be involved in quite a few, especially diseases which are caused by ageing. If you are thinking more about infections, then it’s the parts in contact with the outside world, your skin, ears, nose and throat which are more likely to get a disease (e.g. colds, coughs, flu etc).
