Individuals at higher risk of developing varicose veins include those with a family history of the condition, pregnant women, and people who are overweight. Age also plays a role, as veins can weaken over time.

Prolonged periods of standing or sitting can contribute to risk, especially for occupations that require such postures. Women are more susceptible due to hormonal changes, especially during pregnancy and menopause. Additionally, people with a sedentary lifestyle or those who do not exercise regularly may face a higher risk.

Genetics can significantly influence susceptibility, as a family history of varicose veins increases the likelihood of developing them.
