Overview

There are no established risk factors for Loffler syndrome itself. Nevertheless, it has been shown that Indians, children, people live in tropical areas are at increased risk for developing loffler syndrome. Common risk factors in the development of helminthic disorders such as ascariasis are often associated with poor sanitary conditions and environmental fecal contamination. Poor socioeconomic conditions, use of human feces as fertilizer, lack of hand washing, eating unwashed fruits and vegetables, environmental contamination with feces are among known conditions which were correlated to ascariasis. Common risk factors in the development of hookworms are bare foot walking

The most potent risk factor in the development of [disease name] is [risk factor 1]. Other risk factors include [risk factor 2], [risk factor 3], and [risk factor 4].

Common risk factors in the development of [disease name] include [risk factor 1], [risk factor 2], [risk factor 3], and [risk factor 4].

Common risk factors in the development of [disease name] may be occupational, environmental, genetic, and viral.

Common risk factors in the development of [disease name] include [risk factor 1], [risk factor 2], [risk factor 3], and [risk factor 4].

Common Risk Factors

  • Common risk factors in the development of [disease name] may be occupational, environmental, genetic, and viral.
  • Common risk factors in the development of [disease name] include:
    • [Risk factor 1]
    • [Risk factor 2]
    • [Risk factor 3]

Less Common Risk Factors

  • Less common risk factors in the development of [disease name] include:
    • [Risk factor 1]
    • [Risk factor 2]
    • [Risk factor 3]

The risk factors for ascariasis are often associated with poor sanitary conditions and environmental fecal contamination. Risk factors for ascariasis include:[1][2][3]

  • Poor socioeconomic conditions
  • Use of human feces as fertilizer
  • Lack of hand washing
  • Eating unwashed fruits and vegetables
  • Environmental contamination with feces
