Article Synopsis
- The study compares the clinical features and outcomes of childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) versus adult-onset SLE among Indonesian patients at tertiary care centers from 2008 to 2017.
- It found that children with SLE presented more frequently with hematological disorders and arthritis at diagnosis, while adults more commonly exhibited skin issues like discoid rash and photosensitivity.
- The research suggests that childhood-onset SLE may require a more aggressive treatment strategy due to a higher tendency for mortality and a different clinical profile compared to adult-onset SLE.

The amount and activity of BAT are inversely correlated with body-mass index and body fat percentage. Bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP7) plays a role in the differentiation and development of BAT, which can be increased by bioactive compounds from several medicinal plants.
