Lifetime Risk - What"s That?

Updated March 31, 2014.

Lifetime risk is a term to describe the probability of getting a disease over the course of your entire lifespan.  Risk factors like smoking, eating a high-salt or highly-processed diet, whether you suffer a hip fracture, or drive while distracted will increase your chances of dying prematurely. Researchers refer to this increased risk as excess mortality.



    Various diseases like cardiovascular disease, diabetes and stroke are more common in an aging population, and therefore the risk of getting them increases as you get older.  This is referred to as an age-conditional or age-dependent risk, which specifies a probability of disease or death within a defined age range.
