Breast cancer risk factors: which can be changed?
Age and family history cannot change; alcohol, weight and activity level are in your hands.
Age, sex, family history and BRCA gene mutations are risk factors that cannot be changed.
Lifestyle and environmental factors such as alcohol use, obesity and a sedentary life and long-term hormone use are among the risk factors that can be changed.
Having a risk factor does not mean you will get breast cancer; informed health choices and regular check-ups improve the chance of early diagnosis.
For more details, see the Breast Cancer Risk Factors page.
