[…] Costochondritis can affect individuals across all age groups, though it is more common in adults over 40. Emerging evidence suggests that costochondritis is slightly more prevalent in females, likely due to differences in ribcage anatomy and hormonal factors that influence tissue elasticity. […] Recent research has highlighted the role of systemic inflammation and mechanical stress in these patients, further supporting a multifactorial cause of costochondritis.
