Risk Factor Modification

Risk factor modification refers to changing behaviors or conditions that increase the likelihood of negative outcomes, such as disease or accidents. By identifying risk factors—such as poor diet, lack of exercise, smoking, or high stress—individuals can take proactive steps to reduce their risk. This might involve adopting healthier eating habits, increasing physical activity, quitting smoking, or managing stress through relaxation techniques. The goal is to enhance overall health and well-being, ultimately lowering the chances of serious health issues or harmful events occurring in the future.
