What Is Moyamoya Disease?
6. Who’s At Risk
Because little is known about moyamoya, it is difficult to say who is at risk. However, people of Asian descent are more likely to have the condition than other people are. It affects Asian people living in other parts of the world just as frequently as it does to Asians living in Asia.
People are also at a considerably higher chance of having the disease if there is a history of it in the family. It is also more common in females, and in children younger than 15 years old. As mentioned, people with certain medical conditions are also more likely to have the disease.
