Common Causes & Risk Factors of Bursitis

Aging

Aging is a major risk factor for bursitis. This means that the possibility to suffer from this health condition is higher when you get aged. It is caused by the usual wear and tear of your bursae over time. As a result, these parts tend to be prone to repetitive movements in daily life. The condition would lead to stiffness and pain in different parts of the body. To reduce the risks, elderly people should do gentle exercises to improve the strength of their bursae. [2]
