statistics

90% of lupus sufferers are women. 90% of the women get lupus during their reproductive years. Lupus also affects you depending on where you live. eg the US, African Americans, Latinos and Asians are more commonly affected than Caucasians, and lupus in the Philippines and China is more common than in Japan.

Although it is a serious disease, lupus is only fatal in a small percentage of cases. It all depends on your age, genes, race, where you live and how serious it is. but because there is no cure for lupus, there is no cure rate.

while lupus affects women mostly in their reproductive years, men dont have a risk period but usually have a more serious case of lupus.
