Increasing age
With advancing age, the chances of developing the condition of Dupuytren’s condition increase excessively. The older adults are more prone to have Dupuytren’s contraction disease in comparison to the younger people. The people of ages between 40 and 60 years are likely to have Dupuytren’s contraction. The male individuals, especially after the age of 50 years, lose the connectivity of connective tissues and cause the thickening of muscle fibers. Although the chances and possibilities of the occurrence of Dupuytren’s contraction are even possible in childhood, most cases are present in older adults only. While in the case of women, the condition appears much later and is usually less severe in comparison with the male individuals. The chances of the severity of Dupuytren’s contraction symptoms are higher in the early 20s in men while in the middle age span, the severity drops down.
