doggofroyo · Answer

CJD most frequently occurs in people between 55 and 75 years old. For 80 to 90 percent of the people diagnosed with CJD, scientists do not know the cause. These individuals are referred to as having sporadic CJD. 
Between 5 percent and 15 percent of CJD cases are genetic, meaning the risk for the disease is inherited.
