Benign idiopathic tremor can develop at any age, but is more common in people over 40. The onset of the disease is mainly related to stress, poor rest and relaxation, trauma, and heredity. Benign idiopathic tremor is an involuntary, rhythmic oscillation of a part of the body and is a movement disorder. It can develop at any age, with middle-aged and older adults over 40 years of age being the most common group to develop the disease; if there is a familial history of the disease, the familial is earlier than the sporadic, with onset occurring before the age of 40 years. The specific etiology of the disease is unclear and may be related to a variety of risk factors or triggers. These include preventable factors such as chronic stress, irregular work and rest patterns, frequent late nights, traumatic injuries leading to physical stress, and prolonged heavy alcohol consumption; and non-preventable factors such as a family history of tremor and abnormal shocks to the central nervous system. It is recommended that young people with symptoms of benign idiopathic tremor should seek prompt medical attention for definitive diagnosis and active treatment.
