  • Risk Factor: Anything about you, your surroundings, or what you do, that makes it more likely for you to get a disease or injury. Think of it as a nasty gremlin that keeps poking at your health. Yikes! 😖
  • Example: Having a triple cheeseburger every day. The result? Potentially obesity and then diseases like diabetes or heart issues. It's like the gremlin bringing in more of his friends. Not a party you want to be at!
  • Protective Factor: These are the superheroes in your life that fight off those nasty health gremlins. They keep you safe from diseases and injuries.
  • Example: Regular exercise is like a superhero that punches the obesity gremlin right in the face, helping you stay healthy. Pow! 💪

Common risk factors 👹

  • Obesity
  • Being underweight
  • Unsafe sex
  • High blood pressure
  • Smoking and drinking
  • Bad hygiene or living conditions

Let's not invite these gremlins to our party!
