5 Risk Factors of Lupus

Age

Generally, symptoms of lupus develop slowly and they can even come and go. With that being said, females are typically diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 45. If you are within this age bracket, you’re automatically at an increased risk. If you’re a male, you are most at-risk before puberty and after the age of 50.

With that in mind, it is important to remember that lupus can affect anyone at any age. If there is any concern, consult a medical professional.
