Trigger factors: Trigger factors come in types: if you have an immune problem (iga), asthma, allergies or similar lung predisposition you will. If you smoke/work around fumes/etc. You might. If you hang around sick people you might. If your diet & rest patterns are unhealthy you might. If you work on what you can avoid/get vaccinated & follow a healthy lifestyle you give yourself the best chance of avoiding it.

Depends: You may have structural lung disease such as asthma and copd. You may be predisposed to infection because of habits like too much alcohol or poor sleeping habits or because you immune system is not normal. See a pulmonologist who can help resolve these issues for you.
