Hiatal Hernia Causes
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
3. Age
As we get older, our bodies are more prone to developing a number of problems through wear and tear, among other things. Our skin becomes looser and our muscles become less toned than they used to be.
This can cause the appearance of aging while it can also make us weaker and less mobile. People who are over the age of 50 are more prone to having a hiatal hernia than younger people are. That does not mean it will necessarily happen to everybody over that age, and it does not mean it cannot happen to people who are below that age.
