Is it true that lupus has a higher recurrence rate as we age?

Lupus generally refers to Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), and there is no direct correlation between the recurrence rate of SLE and age. Therefore, there is no scientific basis for the statement that “the recurrence rate of lupus increases with age”. SLE is an autoimmune connective tissue disease that can invade multiple organs, causing fever, joint swelling, joint pain, rash, muscle pain, fatigue and other symptoms. There is currently no cure for the disease, and there is a chance of recurrence after treatment for patients with SLE, and there is no clear link between this chance and the age of the patient. The treatment of SLE is based on medication and daily care. After standardized and reasonable treatment, patients can achieve long-term control of the disease and minimize the chances of recurrence, and patients need to have regular review of the relevant indicators during the treatment period and after their condition is stabilized in order to obtain timely treatment. It is recommended that patients with SLE should seek timely medical treatment and consult the rheumatology and immunology departments of regular hospitals.
