For example, the risk posed by avian flu to world health is serious.
For example, the risk of breast cancer is raised by alcohol and a high-fat diet, but lowered by childbearing and breastfeeding.
As a specific example, the risk of bowel cancer in men who do not drink is around 64 cases per 1000 men.
For example, the risk for bipolar disorder was found to be 68% due to genetics and only 32% due to environmental factors.
For example, the risk of MS in northern Europeans who carry a particular MHC variant is exacerbated by vitamin D deficiency, which weakens immune function.
This study allowed for other factors that increase the risk of asthma (for example, the risk was not reduced if a parent had the condition), but can still show only an association.
"Then, after you're not exposed to whatever it is — after people stop smoking for a while, for example — the risk returns down to that of the base-line population".
(For example: The risk from that nuclear plant is too big to take for the sake of free market principles, or the severity of our unemployment makes it worthwhile to exempt small businesses from some record-keeping regulations).
For example, the risk of contaminant spreading may be reduced due to reduced risks of erosion and landslides.
For example, the risk of robbery and/or rape might make citizens choose against using outside areas at night.
For example, the risk of contamination arising from contact with surfaces and medical devices has received much attention due to the rise in incidence of healthcare acquired infections.
