Figure 1. Modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors in prostate cancer. Non-modifiable risk factors are intrinsic to individuals’ genetics, biology, or natural environment that cannot change. Modifiable risk factors are lifestyle or environmental factors that can potentially be changed to reduce the risk of developing prostate cancer. While modifiable risk factors have less direct evidence than non-modifiable ones, there is still some association between these factors and prostate cancer risk.
