Bursitis can affect anyone, but it is more common in individuals who frequently engage in repetitive motions or prolonged pressure on specific joints, such as athletes or manual laborers. It can also occur in older adults due to age-related wear and tear. Additionally, conditions like Arthritis, gout, and certain infections can increase the risk of developing bursitis. Overall, those with underlying health issues or lifestyle factors that strain joints are more susceptible.
