Late-onset SLE (Lo-SLE) is the term used when the disease is first diagnosed after 50-65 years, though the standard age cut-off remains undefined.

To achieve appropriate care, cooperation and timely consultation between primary care or elderly care with a geriatric and/or oncological specialist from secondary care is important.
