Rates Of Autoimmune Disease Increasing In Women, Rosa De La Cotera
Rates Of Autoimmune Disease Increasing In Women, Rosa De La Cotera
Grace Peterson Nursing Research Colloquium
Abstract
Autoimmune disorders (AD) are a group of highly disabling pathological conditions that are growing at an alarming rate affecting approximately 8% of the population. These disorders occur more frequently in women, as 78% of those diagnosed are women. Little conclusive research has been conducted as to determine why there is a tremendous sex disparity when looking at the rates. Due to the overall poor health that results from these disorders, there is an increase in the societal burden in terms of health care costs, loss of work productivity and reduced quality of life. The aim of this integrative literature …
