Overview
Common risk factors in the development of acromegaly are the risk factors for pituitary adenoma development. These risk factors include a family history of pituitary adenoma, MacCun Albright syndrome, lung cancers and adrenal tumors. Other risk factors include early menopause in females and young age females at the first childbirth.
Risk Factors
Common Risk Factors
- Common risk factors in the development of acromegaly are associated with the risk factors of pituitary adenoma development. The pituitary adenoma is the most common cause of acromegaly.
- Common risk factors in the development of acromegaly include:
- Family history of pituitary adenoma
- MacCun Albright syndrome
- Lung cancers
- Adrenal tumors
Less Common Risk Factors
- Less common risk factors in the development of acromegaly include:[1]
- Early menopausal females
- Surgical induced menopause
- Young age females at the first childbirth
