B. Risk factors
1. Gender
If you are women, you are at higher risk than men to develop Fibromyalgia. According to the Katedra Propedeutyki Pediatrii i Klinika Immunologii Wieku Rozwojowego Akademii Medycznej we Wrocławiu, fibromyalgia may occur at any age, even in childhood, is much more common in women than in men(23).

Dr. Reiffenberger DH and Amundson LH said, "Fibromyalgia syndrome includes symptoms of widespread, chronic musculoskeletal aching and stiffness and soft tissue tender points. It is frequently accompanied by fatigue and sleep disturbance. Fibromyalgia is more common in women than in men, and it occurs at a mean age of 49 years"(24).
2. Family history
 It appears that there are factors in this personality trait that are hereditary and that may contribute to the development of FM(25), including psychological distress(26), familial history of depression(27),.... According to Dr. Hudson JI and colleagues, said,  "the familial prevalence of major affective disorder were significantly higher in the fibromyalgia patients than the rheumatoid arthritis patients":(28).

3. Environment factors
Environmental susceptibility may be the possible causes of Fibromyalgia(29) such as chronic stress(30)

4. Chronic illness
There is a believe that certain illness are associated to the increased risk of Fibromyalgia(35) such as diseases of infection(33)(34),  and Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS)(32), affecting the quality of work and social life, according to Dr. Asbring P.(31).
