variable

Italian translation: aggettivo

English term or phrase: variable
No normal and pathological life process, no disease is a fixed state of affairs ("status"), but an energetic process ("processus"), and as such a function of variable factors, i.e. of variable predisposition or disposition as cause, of variable triggering impulses or germs or of variable external conditions.

Secondo voi, "variable" è inteso come aggettivo - quindi: condizioni esterne variabili, predisposizione variabile, fattori variabili - o come sostantivo - quindi: la variabile condizioni esterne, la variabile predisposizione, fattori variabili intesi come "le variabili", ecc...
Grazie!
