Question 10
To determine the leading cause of death in the United States, we refer to health statistics. Heart disease is consistently reported as the leading cause of death in the US, ahead of car crashes, cancer (though cancer is a major cause, heart disease is typically the leading), and accidents.
Risk factors increase the likelihood of developing a disease/disorder. So fewer risk factors mean a lower (not greater) chance of developing a disease/disorder. Thus the statement is false.
