| Genetics | A family history of prostate cancer is associated with increased risk. |
| Diet | Dietary fat has been implicated in some studies. |
| Other | Environmental and familial factors may contribute to an increased incidence but no specific factor in any of these two groups of potential risk factors has been clearly identified. |

The age-specific incidence rate distribution of prostate cancer for Idaho in 1995 is quite similar to that seen nationally and reported by the National Cancer Institute's SEER program. The incidence peaks in the 70-80 age interval.
