Unlikely : Appendicitis can be prevented to some extent general incidence has been reduced due to be trend as seen in lost 6 to 7 decades, bavoiding contaminated water & food . Infection will cause obstruction of lumen , younger age is prone to it as they have more lymphatic tissue also obstruction of lumen like faecolith or hard stool , constipation or pin warms etc in the lumen may cause appendicitis.
