Correct answer is some health risks are increased by heredity, which manifest under certain environmental conditions. Certain environments can lead to an increased risk of developing certain diseases. 

Environmental factors significantly impact human livelihoods, health, and well-being. About one quarter of the global disease burden and one quarter of all deaths result from modifiable environmental factors.
