Risk Factors
Some common risk factors are shown below in a RiskFactorgram. You can see how each increases the chances of developing a particular condition or disease. You can also see what risk factors may be responsible for a given disease. By using this "tool" you will soon realize that one risk factor can be responsible for several different conditions, while one disease can have a number of different contributing causes.

Of course, this is by no means a complete list of risk factors and conditions influenced by them. It gives just the most common ones, which can be used to illustrate the complex relationships involved. Other areas of this site will use RiskFactorgrams that are a bit more detailed, and concerned with specific conditions.
