Overview
Risk Factors
The risk factors of EoE are as follows:[1][2][3]
- The risk factors associated with EoE are as follows:
- Age- EoE has a bimodal age distribution common in both children and adults.
- Sex- Males are more prone to EoE than the females.
- Weather- Cold and dry climate triggers EoE.
- Location- EoE is common in people with a history of European ancestry.
- Season- Summer and fall, this is because people stay outdoors during this time and the higher levels of the pollen and the other allergens during these seasons.
- Family history- EoE runs in the family and it is more common in people with a positive family history of the EoE.
- History of allergies- EoE is very common in patient with a history of allergies such as asthma, industrial exposures, environmental allergies, chronic respiratory disease, food allergies and atopic dermatitis.
