3. Risk Factors for Meralgia Paresthetica
Meralgia paresthetica is more common in people aged 30 to 60, perhaps because of the prevalence of risk factors in that age group. People who are carrying extra weight and pregnant women are more at risk as well.
Individuals who wear tight clothing either by choice or for a profession such as dancing or gymnastics can also be at greater risk. Athletes and people with nerve damage from diabetes may be at higher risk too.1’Meralgia Paresthetica.’ Mayo Clinic. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/meralgia-paresthetica/symptoms-causes/syc-20355635
