Overview
Myelofibrosis is a rare disorder and its common risk factors may be age, other myeloproliferative disorders, radiation, or industrial chemical exposure.
Risk Factors
Common risk factors in the development of myelofibrosis include:
- Age: Old age seem to be an important risk factor with individuals being in their 50s and 60s.[1]
- Other myeloproliferative disorder: Other myeloproliferative disorders such as polycythemia vera and essential thrombocythemia, may pave the way for the development of myelofibrosis.[2][3][4]
- 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.
