CenterGallstones
One out of every 10 people in the U.S. has gallstones or will develop them at some time in life. The longer a stone exists in the gallbladder, the more likely it becomes problematic. 20% of people over age 65 have gallstones, but most never experience problems. The risk factors for gallstones include the 4 "Fs" (Female, over age Forty, Fear and Fat). Other risk factors include a Western diet with large amounts of animal fats and refined sugars, genetic predisposition, a sedentary life style, and dehydration. Gallstones cause over 90% of the cases of cholecystitis-gallbladder inflammation. The lodged stone blocks the drainage of bile from the gallbladder, which becomes inflamed, edematous, and distended.
