causes

Causes of DVT:

• Obesity
• Varicose Veins
• History of other Pulmonary Embolism
• Vitamin K deficiency

One’s diet and daily lifestyle are 2 important key roles in determining the chances of getting the disease. For instance, a person whose diet consists of food high in cholesterol and fats, and low in fibre would have a higher chance of getting DVT than someone who eats mostly fruits & vegetables.
