These diverticula tend to develop in the weak areas of the bowel, in particular, sites where a large number of bloods vessels penetrate the walls of the bowel and in areas that are generally narrower than most others such as the sigmoid colon.

It is believed that the development of diverticula is a result of the adoption of western diets, which tend to be low in fiber. This is evident in developed or industrialized countries.
