This study examined the prevalence, clustering, age trends, and gender differences of chronic-disease related risk factors among a large sample of adolescents (N = 4932) in Alberta, Canada. Approximately 43 % of boys and 53 % of girls displayed two or more risk factors. Age trends and gender differences were also observed.
