Overview
The most potent risk factor in the development of adenoiditis is being a young child. Other risk factors include immuno-deficiencies, living in an urban environment with more exposure to viruses or bacteria and usage of immuno-suppressant drugs.
Risk factors
Risk factors for adenoiditis involve increasing the risk of invasion by pathogenic viruses or bacteria.[1][2][3]
- Living or working in close proximity to children
- Living in an urban environment with more exposure to viruses or bacteria
- Being a young child or elderly adult
- Being immunocompromised
- Living or working in close proximity to airborne pollutants, such as smoke
- Living in colder climates[4]
- Excessive and prolonged use of corticosteroids
- Obesity or overweight[5]
- Living with someone who suffers the disease
