Which factor is not typically a risk for neuropathy?

High physical activity is not typically considered a risk factor for neuropathy. In fact, regular physical activity can have protective effects on nerve health. Engaging in exercise promotes good circulation, improves metabolic health, and can enhance nerve function and repair.

In contrast, excessive alcohol intake can lead to alcohol-related neuropathy due to its toxic effects on nerves and nutritional deficiencies. Vitamin B deficiencies, particularly B12, can impair nerve function and are common causes of neuropathy. The Epstein-Barr virus is associated with certain types of neuropathy, particularly in cases where the virus leads to other health issues that can affect nerve health. Thus, while various factors can contribute to the risk of neuropathy, high physical activity is generally viewed as beneficial rather than harmful.
