Introduction
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]
