Overview
- There are no established risk factors for [disease name].
OR
- The most potent risk factor in the development of [disease name] is [risk factor 1]. Other risk factors include [risk factor 2], [risk factor 3], and [risk factor 4].
- Common risk factors in the development of [disease name] include [risk factor 1], [risk factor 2], [risk factor 3], and [risk factor 4].
- Common risk factors in the development of [disease name] may be occupational, environmental, genetic, and viral.
Risk Factors.
Common Risk Factors
- Common risk factors in the development of acromegaly are associated with the risk factors of pituitary adenoma development. The pituitary adenoma is the most common cause of acromegaly.
- Common risk factors in the development of acromegaly include:
- Family history of pituitary adenoma
- MacCun Albright syndrome
- Lung cancers
- Adrenal tumors
Less Common Risk Factors
- Less common risk factors in the development of acromegaly include:[1]
- Early menopausal females
- Surgical induced menopause
- Young age females at the first childbirth
