Researchers still don't fully understand the cause of ALS. There are potential likes between ALS and other medical conditions, including head trauma, metabolic disease, cancer, and inflammatory disease.

New research suggests that increased consumption of foods containing colorful carotenoids, particularly beta-carotene and lutein, may prevent or delay the onset of ALS.]]> 2017-09-15 00:14:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ali_leonard96/7ozphldhmjjq/wish/187786275 ali_leonard96 https://padlet.com/ali_leonard96/7ozphldhmjjq/wish/187787060 Risk factor = Average Risk
Some women who develop ovarian cancer have the inherited mutation gene BRCA1 or BRCA2. Women with the BRCA1 mutation have a 35 to 70 percent high risk of ovarian cancer.

1. Taking birth control pills - research shows that women who were on birth control for three or more years are 30% to 50% less likely to develop ovarian cancer.
2. Breastfeeding
3. Surgical procedures]]> 2017-09-15 00:29:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ali_leonard96/7ozphldhmjjq/wish/187788128 ali_leonard96 https://padlet.com/ali_leonard96/7ozphldhmjjq/wish/187788180 BreRisk factor = low-risk factor
Women who start menstruation at an early age (before age 13) and women who start menopause at an older age (after age 55) have a slightly higher risk of breast cancer. May be due to the longer exposure of the hormones estrogen and progesterone.
Having gene mutation such as BRCA1 and BRCA2 are at higher risk.]]> 2017-09-15 00:29:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ali_leonard96/7ozphldhmjjq/wish/187788180 ali_leonard96 https://padlet.com/ali_leonard96/7ozphldhmjjq/wish/187788205 Prevention
How to reduce the risk of breast cancer
1. limiting alcohol use
2. limiting smoking

Women are more likely to develop osteoarthritis but still isn't clear why. Obesity is another factor, due to the increased weight and stress put on the knees or hips. 
Heredity also comes into play, some people have an inherited defect in one of the genes responsible for making cartilage. ]]> 2017-09-15 00:30:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ali_leonard96/7ozphldhmjjq/wish/187788294 ali_leonard96 https://padlet.com/ali_leonard96/7ozphldhmjjq/wish/187788336 Prevention
