Overview
Common risk factors in the development of Myasthenia gravis include: Gender, Stress and other psychological factors.
Risk Factors
Common risk factors in the development of Myasthenia gravis include: Gender, Stress and other psychological factors.
Common Risk Factors
- Common risk factors in the development of Myasthenia gravis are:
- Gender: Women are known to be more susceptible to autoimmune diseases because of different basic immune response in men and women. Women produce more antibodies against infections and traumas.[1][2]
- Stress and other psychological factors: there are strong evidences showing the adverse effect of stress on immune system and the beginning of autoimmune diseases.[3]
Less Common Risk Factors
- Less common risk factors in the development of [disease name] include:
- [Risk factor 1]
- [Risk factor 2]
