What age does IPF start?

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) typically occurs in individuals who are over 50 years of age. However, it can occur in individuals as young as in their 30s and 40s. The incidence of IPF increases with age, and the risk of developing IPF is higher in individuals who are over 60 years of age. It is important to note that IPF is a rare disease and other factors such as smoking and exposure to certain environmental toxins may also increase the risk of developing IPF. If you are concerned about IPF or have any symptoms related to respiratory issues, you should consult with a healthcare professional.
