- The study focuses on late-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (LoSLE) in Japan, highlighting its unique characteristics compared to early-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (EoSLE), which complicates diagnosis.
- Data from the Lupus Registry in Japan were analyzed, comparing patients with LoSLE (50+ years old at onset) to those with EoSLE (under 50), revealing differences in symptoms and demographics, such as a higher male-to-female ratio in LoSLE patients.
- Key findings indicated that LoSLE patients had a higher occurrence of myositis, lower occurrences of skin rash and alopecia, and distinct treatment patterns, with more EoS
