| Age | The rate of ovarian cancer increases with age and is primarily a disease of older women. |
| Race & SES* | Rates are slightly higher in Caucasian females than in African American females. The rate is higher among upper income groups. |
| Genetics | The most important risk factor for ovarian cancer is a family history of a first-degree relative (mother, daughter, or sister) with the disease. The risk gets even greater in women with two or more first-degree relatives with ovarian cancer. |
| Hormonal | Risk of ovarian cancer is significantly reduced among women having at least one live-born child, a history of breast-feeding, or sustained oral contraceptive use. Highest risk is in post-menopausal women. It is also associated with a personal history of breast, endometrial, and colon cancers. |
| Diet | Dietary fat may increase the risk. |
