Genetic predisposition
 
No definitive scientific proof has been produced for a genetic predisposition to connective tissue insufficiency which is nowadays blamed for the development of vein disorders in about 90% of all cases. All that is known for certain is that slackening of the venous wall is present in the diseased veins although it has not yet been possible to clarify whether it is the cause or consequence of the Venous insufficiency. The fact of a hereditary increased incidence of venous disorders has, however, been clearly identified. One possible cause which has to be considered in this context is the same level of social development. The same lifestyle, habits, nutrition and environmental influences play a major role in this and have to be taken into consideration in their entirety.
