Uncontrollable Risk Factors include :

1. Age : (Alzheimer's disease is found in elderly)

2. Race : (people of African and Mediterranean descendance are found to be more susceptible to sickle-cell disease, cystic fibrosis and hemochromatosis are more common among European populations.)

3. Family History : (diseases such as diabetes, cancer, arthritis and hypertension are all hereditary. Although some hereditary/genetic disorders can be prevented from causing impairment through lifestyle modification, they are still unavoidable most of the times)

4. Gender : (some diseases that are more prevalent in one gender than in the other, for example breast cancer is more common in women are heart diseases are more common in men.
