Risk factors for health vary in relation to what disease you are discussing but a few general ones are: overall health (including weight, blood pressure and physical fitness) gender, family history, birthing complications, and your way of living.

A health risk factor is some situation that predisposes you to a disease or condition. For instance, smoking cigarettes or living in an area with high radon levels are risk factors for lung cancer. Sharing needles for drugs is a risk factor for HIV and hepatitis C. Living in the Hudson Valley of NY is a risk factor for Lyme disease.
