Incidence and risk factors

Who gets lupus erythematosus and why?

Lupus affects women about eight or 10 times as often as men. In most cases, the symptoms first appear in women of child-bearing age (usually age 18-45). However, lupus can occur in young children or in older people. It occurs more often in blacks and in some Asian and North American Indian groups than in whites.
