In Vietnamese: Yếu tố nguy cơ Prevention

Having a risk factor does not mean you will develop it; not having one does not mean you are safe.
Two kinds: modifiable (smoking, weight, activity) and not modifiable (age, sex, family).
The real value of knowing your risk is that it changes your SCREENING SCHEDULE — ask about that directly.

Often confused with: Cause — a much tighter relationship; a risk factor is a statistical association.
