It's Time for a Change! <\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Health risk interventions refer to all efforts made to reduce your chances of getting sick. This involves both medical and non-medical approaches.

A non-pharmacological approach means that the intervention will not require a doctor\u2019s prescription\u2014only recommendations\u2014but it involves a very substantial change known as lifestyle modification. A medication-based approach is necessary when lifestyle modifications for a particular condition fail to help you reduce your risk, or when a doctor\u2019s assessment of your risk factors indicates that medication is also needed to address them\u2014for example, if your blood pressure is above 150 over 90, you\u2019ll need both lifestyle changes and antihypertensive medication. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

When identifying risk factors, you\u2019ll notice that there are different types of risk factors, all of which fall into two categories: modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors. \u201cModifiable\u201d means you can take steps to address the risk factor and reduce your chances of getting sick; conversely, if a risk factor is \u201cnon-modifiable,\u201d there\u2019s nothing you can do about it.  <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Lifestyle changes generally include:
1. Quit Smoking
2. Increasing physical activity
3. Lose weight if you are overweight or obese
4. Healthy Diet
5. Stress Management
6. Limit your alcohol intake\u200b<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Modifiable risk factors include:
1. Smoking
2. High blood pressure
3. High Blood Sugar
4. Physical inactivity
5. Being overweight
6. High blood cholesterol.
7. History of sexual contact
8. Occupational exposure (exposure to specific agents that cause disease) and many more.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Non-modifiable risk factors include:\u200b
1. Age
2. Gender
3. Ethnic\/Racial Background
4. Family history of certain diseases (heart disease, breast cancer, diabetes, etc.)
5. Genetics, genetic mutations, or deficiencies \u200b<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\"\"\/\t\t\n<\/div>\n
