1) Gender

2) Environmental factors: exercise, diet, stress

Explanation: Gender (biological sex) is the main genetic/nonmodifiable risk factor for osteoporosis (women at higher risk). Environmental/modifiable influences include physical activity, nutritional intake (calcium/Vitamin D), and chronic stress (via cortisol effects). Age, gender and ethnicity are nonmodifiable risk factors.
