health risk factor(s)

Any acts, circumstances, or conditions that increase the probability of developing a disease or of experiencing an adverse effect. Notes: - strongest predictors of 5-year all-cause mortality - self-reported health problems in men - previous cancer diagnosis in women - smoking (both sexes) - psychosocial factors predict death from accidents, suicide - informing patients of their genetic risks for disease affect subsequent health behaviors [2]
