Any factor that represents a greater risk of a health disorder or other unwanted condition or event. Some risk factors are regarded as causes of disease, others are not necessarily so. Along with their opposites, protective factors, risk factors are known as determinants

Any factor which represents a greater risk of a health disorder or other unwanted condition or event. Some risk factors are regarded as causes of disease, others are not necessarily so.

A risk factor is any attribute, characteristic or exposure associated with an increased risk of disease or adverse health outcome. A risk factor may not necessarily be causal. See also Wikipedia definition.
