Cancer risk factor facts* The most common risk factors for cancer include aging, tobacco, sun exposure, radiation exposure, chemicals and other substances, some viruses and bacteria, certain hormones, family history of cancer, alcohol, poor diet, lack of physical activity, or being overweight.

Bone loss and fracture risk are implicated in inflammatory autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, inflammatory bowel disease, and systemic lupus erythematosus.

There are many risk factors for back pain, including aging, genetics, occupational hazards, lifestyle, weight, posture, pregnancy and smoking. With that said, back pain is so prevalent that it can strike even if you have no risk factors at all.

Female gender, Caucasian or Asian race, thin and small body frames, and a family history of osteoporosis. (Having a mother with an osteoporotic hip fracture doubles your risk of hip fracture.) Cigarette smoking, excessive alcohol and caffeine consumption, lack of exercise, and a diet low in calcium.

Other common conditions that affect the skeletal system include: Osteoporosis: This is a disease in which the bones become fragile and prone to fracture. Leukemia: This is a cancer of the white blood cells. Osteopenia, osteitis deformans, and osteomalacia: Similar to osteoporosis, these are other types of bone loss.

Lack of Vitamin D will lead to poor calcium and phosphate absorption, and problems with muscle strength and balance. There will be a consequent 15-30% increase in PTH secretion, leading to increased bone absorption and osteoporosis risk. Serum calcium and phosphate levels will be normal.

Osteoporosis can be caused by certain types of cancer such as multiple myeloma. It can also be caused by certain types of cancer treatments or their side effects. Hormonal therapies may be used to treat breast, uterine, ovarian and prostate cancers.

Gender. Women over the age of 50, or postmenopausal women have the greatest risk of developing osteoporosis. Women experience rapid bone loss during, and 5 to 10 years after, menopause. Menopause decreases the production of estrogen, a hormone which protects against excessive bone loss.

Research suggests that consistently getting enough vitamin D can significantly lower the risk for the bone-thinning disease osteoporosis. Low vitamin D also is associated with falls, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic pain, diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease and some cancers.

Obesity 'may pose osteoporosis risk' Obesity may be a risk factor for the frail bone disease osteoporosis, a study suggests. US researchers have discovered that some people who are overweight have hidden fat inside their bones that could make them weak and prone to fractures.

Whites and individuals of Asian descent are at highest risk for osteoporosis. Osteoporosis due to estrogen deficiency (postmenopausal osteoporosis) occurs in women between the ages of 50 and 70; osteoporosis due to aging is most common in those over age 70.
