Autoimmune disease rates sharply increase after age 50, with cases often unrecognized for years, according to a Mayo Clinic study

• A recent study by the Mayo Clinic reveals that the rates of autoimmune diseases sharply increase after the age of 50, with many cases remaining unrecognized for years. This highlights a significant gap in the timely diagnosis and treatment of these disorders among older adults.
• The findings underscore the importance of increased awareness and research into autoimmune diseases, particularly for individuals over 50. As scientists make progress in understanding these conditions, it may lead to improved diagnostic methods and treatment options, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes.
