Which of the following is an example of risk factors?

  1. Smoking, Diabetes, Pathogenic Bacteria

  2. Genetic Factors, Age, Gender

  3. Stress, Osteoporosis

  4. Gender, Genetics

The correct answer is: Smoking, Diabetes, Pathogenic Bacteria

Risk factors are conditions or habits that increase your chances of developing a disease or health condition. Options B, C, and D are not examples of risk factors, as they do not directly relate to the development of a disease or health condition. Options B and D mention non-modifiable risk factors such as age and gender, which cannot be changed or controlled. Option C refers to a health condition, osteoporosis, which is not a risk factor but rather a result of certain risk factors such as low calcium intake and physical inactivity. Therefore, the only correct answer is option A, which lists examples of risk factors that can be modified or controlled.
