HAMPTON ROADS, VA—No matter how resilient or healthy you may feel, once you’ve had chickenpox, the virus remains dormant in the body and can reactivate after age 50 as shingles. In fact, one in three people will develop shingles in their lifetime.
While age is the most significant risk factor, certain chronic health conditions, like diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and heart disease, have also been associated with an increased risk.
