umm...just wondering if we can somehow deduce this from the good ol' 'female, fat, forty' logic...or is it plain memorization...

ya .... thats basically how u deduce it.... which is why no moron wud ask for the incidence of GALL STONES in the "young" population. GOd almighty..... Doc, u can add obesity, severe weightloss, starvation, BCPs, clofibrate and Native AMerican origins to yr list of Fs .
