OA develops when systemic factors and biomechanical vulnerabilities combine. Systemic factors include age, gender, genetic predisposition, and nutritional status. Age is the strongest predictor of OA, although advanced age alone is insufficient to cause OA. 

The majority of people who smoke never develop lung cancer. Genetic risk factors may predispose certain smokers to lung cancer. After adjustments for age, smoke exposure, occupation, and gender, relatives of a lung cancer patient have approximately a twofold risk of developing lung cancer. The... 

The formation of atherosclerotic plaques is the underlying cause of coronary artery disease (CAD) and ACS in most patients. Endothelial dysfunction leads to the formation of fatty streaks in the coronary arteries and eventually to atherosclerotic plaques. Factors responsible for development of atherosclerosis include hypertension, age, male gender, tobacco use, diabetes mellitus, obesity, and dyslipidemia.

The development of nevirapine-induced disease is clearly immune-mediated as upon re-challenge with nevirapine the rash developed faster in previously exposed and fully recuperated rats. In addition, memory for skin reactions in response to nevirapine were transferable by splenocytes from treated to naive animals [15]. In summary, nevirapine-induced skin reactions in rat are immune-mediated and dependent on genetic background, including gender.
