For the most part it can be. Just depends on the person. Some people get it at an older age some people when they are kids.
The term "double joint" is a misnomer. There is no such medical condition as having double joints. It likely refers to having hypermobility in the joints, a condition known as joint hypermobility syndrome.
Joints with a wider range of motion than people without hyperbility syndrome. Due to extra collegen (connective tissue) protein in one's joints, tendons, ligaments. Difference between hypermobility and hypermobility syndrome is latter can include persistent moderate to severe pain due to osteoarthritis and/or fibromyalgia. Sometimes a mitral valve prolapse is found too.
Marfan Syndrome is a genetic condition which affects the body's connective tissue. It usually results in long, thin digits and the condition can also affect the heart, skin, joints, eyes and other systems.
Down syndrome is a lifelong condition typically classified as chronic due to its presence from birth and lasting throughout a person's life. It is not considered an acute disease which typically have a rapid onset and short duration.
This is known as joint hypermobility. It can lead to joint instability, pain, and an increased risk of injury. Exercise programs focusing on strengthening the surrounding muscles can help provide support and stability to hypermobile joints.
hypermobility. your welcome :)

Hypermobility is typically considered a dominant trait, which means that it only requires one copy of the gene associated with hypermobility to be expressed. However, there can be variations in the inheritance pattern depending on the specific underlying genetic cause of hypermobility.

Double-jointedness, or to be more accurate, hypermobility syndrome, makes the thumb more flexible.
Yes
Hypermobility is when your joints extend further than they are supposed to and it can cause sever chronic(non-stop) pain.
There is no specific data on the number of people in the US who are double-jointed, as it is not a medical condition but rather a colloquial term to describe individuals with hypermobility in their joints. Hypermobility varies in severity and prevalence among different population groups.
yes Even if not diagnosed until adulthood it will have been there since birth as it's a lifelong condition.
Scoliosis is a condition/disease of the spine, this is a lifelong condition and never goes away.Surgery can help correct curves but does not take the Scoliosis away
Patellar hypermobility means excessive movement of the kneecap. In a related condition, patellofemoral syndrome, the patella moves in inappropriate ways relative to the femur.
