Overview
Common risk factors in the development of fibromyalgia include stressful or traumatic events, such as car accidents or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), injuries from repetitive stress on a joint such as frequent knee bending, illness (such as viral infections), or obesity. Family history of fibromyalgia is also a common risk factor.[1]
Risk Factors
The possible risk factors for fibromyalgia include: [1]
- Female sex (women are more prone to have fibromyalgia than men)
- Stressful or traumatic events, such as car accidents or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Repetitive injuries and injury from repetitive stress on a joint, such as frequent knee bending
- Illness (such as viral infections)
- Family history
- Obesity
- Monozygotic twins have a greater risk than dizygotic twins
