Large-Scale Study Finds Higher Prevalence of Autoimmune Disease in Certain Populations”
A recent study conducted by a team of international researchers has found that there is a higher prevalence of autoimmune diseases in certain populations. The study, which involved over 10 million people from 25 different countries, discovered that populations with African, Native American, or Hispanic ancestry had a higher risk of developing autoimmune diseases compared to those with European ancestry. The study also found that autoimmune diseases were more common in women than men. The researchers hope that this study will lead to a better understanding of the genetic and environmental factors that contribute to the development of autoimmune diseases, and ultimately lead to better diagnosis and treatment options for those affected.
