⚠️ Modifiable Risk Factors

Let’s understand this in a very simple way.

What are risk factors?
Risk factors are things that increase the chance of disease.

What does “modifiable” mean?
Modifiable means something we can change or control.

👉 Example: habits, lifestyle choices

Which one is modifiable?

✅ Correct Answer: (b) Smoking

Why smoking?
Smoking is a lifestyle habit that a person can:

• Stop
• Reduce
• Control

👉 So it is a modifiable risk factor.

Why other options are not correct?

• (a) Age → ❌ Cannot be changed
• (c) Genetics → ❌ Inherited, not controllable
• (d) Previous history → ❌ Already occurred, cannot change

Simple Exam Trick:
Modifiable → Can change → Habits (like smoking)
