Wow, I never heard either of those risks associated with Dupuytrens. Can you cite a source for that information?
I suppose it could be theorized that there is a higher risk since Dupuytrens is more common in people who have been long time smokers and heavy consumers of alcohol.

Here is what Mayo Clinic has to say about it:
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/dupuytrens-contracture/symptoms-causes/syc-20371943
No additional risks or cautions are noted there.

I never heard of this. Here’s my family, all with Dupuytrens. Father died at age 90. Brother age 79. Myself age 75+. Yes, we’re of Northern European background. When my D gets bad, I use arnica which relieves the pain. I also use “yoga hands” daily to keep my hands limber and stretched.
