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].

OR

Common risk factors in the development of [disease name] include [risk factor 1], [risk factor 2], [risk factor 3], and [risk factor 4].

OR

Common risk factors in the development of [disease name] may be occupational, environmental, genetic, and viral.

Risk Factors

  • Common risk factors in the development of Kawasaki disease are believed to be environmental, genetic, and viral.[1]
  • Kawasaki disease affects children of all races and ages and both genders.[2]
  • Kawasaki disease occurs most often in children of Asian and Pacific Island descent.
  • Kawasaki disease is more likely to affect boys than girls.
  • Most cases of Kawasaki disease occur in children younger than 5 years of age.
  • Kawasaki disease is rare in children older than 8 years of age.
