Risk factors are any factor that would affect the chance that you would get a disease. Some Risk factors of Acute Myeloid Leukemia are but not limited to: smoking, certain chemical exposures, radiation exposure, certain blood disorders, congenital syndromes, having an identical twin with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, gender, and uncertain, unproven, or controversial risk factors.
Everyone, it doesnt discriminate
Leukemia is cancer of the blood or the bone marrow. This can not be caused by alcoholic beverages. Drinking alcohol (beer, wine or liquor) in moderation is not a risk factor for developing leukemia. Leukemia is the most common type of cancer in children and the most common form of the disease in young people is acute lymphoblastic leukemia (also called acute lymphocytic leukemia, and acute lymphoid leukemia). However, leukemia also occurs among adults and is not only a "childhood disease." The most common known risk factors for leukemia (things that make leukemia more likely) are smoking, exposure to atomic bomb radiation, previous chemotherapy or radiation therapy, human T-cell leukemia virus, myelogysplasctic syndrome and Downs syndrome.

Yes, exposure to beta radiation has been linked to an increased risk of developing leukemia. Beta radiation can damage bone marrow, where blood cells are produced, leading to the development of leukemia.
Risk factors for getting the disease or risk factors if you already have the disease?
Statistically: Dependent risk factors require other risk factors to reach statistical significance Independent risk factors are still statistically significant when adjusted for known risk factors
Risk Factors
The following are risk factors for COPD:
Yes, exposure to high doses of radiation from atomic bombs can increase the risk of developing leukemia. This is because radiation can damage the DNA within cells, leading to the development of cancer, including leukemia.
