A risk factor is a characteristic, condition, or behaviour that increases the likelihood of getting a disease or injury. ... In general, risk factors can be categorised into the following groups:
Common risk factors include inherent factors (e.g., age, gender, and race), lifestyle or behavioral factors (e.g., excess weight, physical inactivity or tobacco use), and environmental factors (e.g., exposure to air pollution).
3.2, health risk factors and their main parameters in built environments are further identified and classified into six groups: biological, chemical, physical, psychosocial, personal, and others.
Physical risks. Physical risks include physical discomfort, pain, injury, illness or disease brought about by the methods and procedures of the research. ...

Types of risk factors. There are 3 different types of risk factors that must be distinguished from each other in planning prevention initiatives. The first type is a risk factor that cannot be shown to change, and this is termed a fixed marker.
Risk is the possibility that harm (death, injury or illness) might occur when people are exposed to a hazard. Health and safety risks in the workplace need to be managed, either by eliminating risks or, if this is not reasonably practicable, minimising them.
Some common examples include: physical hazards caused by high noise levels, extreme weather or other environmental factors. equipment hazards caused by faulty equipment or poor processes when using equipment such as machinery.
Criminogenic risk factors means the characteristics, traits, problems, or issues of an individual that directly relate to the individual's likelihood to re-offend and commit another crime.
Criminogenic means those risk factors which include, but are not limited to criminal personality; antisocial peers, attitudes, values, beliefs; impulsivity; substance abuse and family dysfunction that are identified through research as correlating with offending behavior.
The two major types of risk are systematic risk and unsystematic risk. Systematic risk impacts everything. It is the general, broad risk assumed when investing. Unsystematic risk is more specific to a company, industry, or sector.
