Aging
Older adults and the elderly are often at higher risks of developing multiple myeloma than younger people. In fact, less than one percent of the reported cases occurring in those who are younger than 35 years old. The likeliness is highest in those people who are older than 60 years old. The association between multiple myeloma and aging might be attributed to body changes when other parts get aged. In addition, some other health conditions in the elderly might increase the overall risk of developing this type of cancer. [3]
