Overview
The risk factors of EoE are as follows bimodal age distribution common in both children and adults, Male gender, cold and dry climate, EoE is common in people with a history of European ancestry, Summer and fall, positive family history of EoE, history of allergies such as asthma, industrial exposures, environmental allergies, chronic respiratory disease, food allergies and atopic dermatitis.
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.
