How Do Pathways of Risk Work?

Pathways of risk often involve multiple steps and intermediary factors. For example, consider the pathway leading from smoking to lung cancer:
Initial exposure to tobacco smoke.
Biological changes in lung tissue.
Development of precancerous lesions.
Progression to lung cancer.
This pathway illustrates how a behavioral risk factor (smoking) leads to a biological outcome (lung cancer) through a series of intermediary steps.
