Causes, Effects, and Signs of Fissured Tongue
5. Risk Factors
While the direct cause is unknown, fissured tongue does have a few risk factors. While the condition can occur at any age, it affects older people more frequently. As a person ages, the fissures may also become deeper. People with a family history of fissured tongue are also more likely to have the condition. Some studies suggest that conditions such as psoriasis and functional dyspepsia increase the risk of developing fissured tongue.
