Risikofaktoren für komorbide Krankheitsbilder
Explanation:
Komorbidität(co-morbiditiy).
Vorkommen von zwei oder mehreren diagnostisch unterscheidbaren Krankheiten nebeneinander bei einem Patienten, ohne dass eine ursächliche Beziehung zwischen diesen bestehen muss.
(Pschyrembel)

Comorbid conditions would for instance include:
Established Coronary Heart Disease
Atherosclerotic Diseases
Type II Diabetes
Sleep Apnea
High Blood Pressure

Risk factors:
High LDL Cholesterol
Low HDL Cholesterol
High Triglycerides
High Blood Glucose
Physical Inactivity

I hope I got this right- maybe a "real " physician can confirm?

Thanks a lot. That was difficult (also to choose a winner as none of the answer were a 100 % what I ended up with, but yours was the closest).
Thanks

Risikofaktoren


Explanation:
einfach Risikofaktoren verwenden, das ist durchaus üblich.

Wenn es unbedingt ein Adjektiv sein muss, schlage ich vor ' krankheitsfördernde Risikofaktoren ', aber again, einfach ' Risikofaktoren ' geht durchaus.

comorbide oder comorbiditäten kenne ich nicht, nie gehört, nie gelesen

kardiovaskuläre Risikofaktoren


Explanation:
standard German cardiology term

This would be another alternative to what Johanna proposed which also describes secondary conditions or habits, such as diabetes and smoking, that increase risks arising from cardiovascular diseases.

In line with Gerhard\'s suggestion, you could leave out \"kardiovaskuläre\" if \"kardiovaskuläre Erkrankungen\" are already mentioned in the context.

Komorbiditätsrisiko-Faktoren


Explanation:
Zuerst muss ich mich für meine erste Antwort entschuldigen!

Natürlich gibt es keine komorbiden Faktoren.

Ich glaube eher, dass comorbid risk als Komorbiditätsrisiko zu verstehen ist.
Das bringt allerdings nur 4 google-hits.

Vielleicht hilfts doch ein bisschen.
Gruß.
