Overview
There are no established risk factors for [disease name].
OR
The most potent risk factor in the development of [disease name] is [risk factor 1]. Other risk factors include [risk factor 2], [risk factor 3], and [risk factor 4].
OR
Common risk factors in the development of SIDS include maternal factors such as age of the mother, smoking history, and prenatal care history, environmental factors which include preterm birth, prone sleeping position, bed-sharing, and overheating.
OR
Common risk factors in the development of [disease name] may be occupational, environmental, genetic, and viral.

Common Risk Factors
- Common risk factors in the development of SIDS may be seen more often in mothers who are younger, less educated, and nonwhite, and smoked during the pregnancy.
- Common risk factors in the development of Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) include:[1][2][3][4]
Maternal risk factors
- Maternal factors which include the following:
- Maternal age:
- Mother who are very young in age are more prone to have SIDS conditions
- Maternal smoking:
- Smoking during pregnancy increases the risk of SIDS
- Placental abnormalities:
- Placental abnormalities which include placenta previa, abruptio placentae, premature rupture of membranes or small for gestational age increases the risk of SIDS
- Prenatal care:
- Mothers who did not attend prenatal care are at risk of SIDS
- Maternal age:
Infant risk factors
- Infant risk factors which include the following:
- Prematurity
- Low birth weight
- The risk of developing SIDS in low to very low weight infants is four times higher than normal birth weight infants[8]
- Gestational hypertension with smoking are associated very highly with low birth weight
- Sibling of SIDS
- Due to biologic and/or epidemiologic influence the risk of developing SIDS in siblings of SIDS infants is increased to sixfold
- But often deaths that are related to inborn errors of metabolism and child abuse are mistaken as SIDS
- Twins
- The risk of developing SIDS in twins is almost double than normal population
- History of apnea of the infant
- Sleep position of the infant
- Sleep environment of the infant
Less Common Risk Factors
- Less common risk factors in the development of [disease name] include:
- [Risk factor 1]
- [Risk factor 2]
- [Risk factor 3]
