Overview
The most potent risk factor in the development of systemic lupus erythematosus is sex.[1] Other risk factors include HLA genetic mutations, being African Americans, Asians, and non-Causcasian, and infections.
Risk Factors
The underlying cause of this autoimmune disease is not clear. Clinical data shows that the onset of systemic lupus erythematosus is associated with the following factors:
- Female: SLE affects nine times as many women as men.[2][3]
- Younger than 50
- Race: African Americans, Asians, and non-Causcasian race are affected more often than people from other races.[4]
- Drugs:
- People with relatives who suffer from SLE, rheumatoid arthritis or thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura are at a slightly higher risk than the general population[5]
- Infections can stimulates some antigen specific cells and lead to SLE disease:
- Epstein-Barr virus (EBV): may induce anti-DNA antibodies or even lupus-like symptoms. It is associated with higher risk of SLE and also triggering the active course of disease in children[6]
- Trypanosomiasis or mycobacterial infections may have the same effect as EBV
- Ultraviolet (UV) light
- Cigarette smoking [7]
- Crystalline silica exposure in work environment (e.g. cleaning powders, soil, pottery materials, cement etc.) [8]
- Drug allergy [9]
- Caring a pet (especially pet dog)
- Moderate alcohol drinking might be protective for SLE [10]
