Overview
Common risk factors in the development of myelofibrosis may be age, other myeloproliferative disorders, radiation, or industrial chemical exposure.[1]
Risk Factors
Common risk factors in the development of myelofibrosis may include:[1]
- Age: Myelofibrosis most commonly individuals in their 50s and 60s.
- Myeloproliferative disorder': Myelofibrosis may also develop secondary to essential thrombocythemia or polycythemia vera.
- Radiation exposure:Individuals exposed to high levels of radiation (e.g. Thorotrast) have an increased risk of myelofibrosis.
- Chemicals: Industrial chemicals, such as toluene and benzene, may have an increased risk of developing myelofibrosis.
