I read in Article entitled "Black Women With Systemic Lupus Erythematosis (SLE) Develop Cardiovascular Disease(CVD) at Early Age."
Being a Black Women with SLE this article caught my attention. The article stated that the youngest age for that a woman has had the disease and having Lupus was 53.9 years of age. This research was conducted by a researcher of medicine at Penn State College. Also, african american woman is the youngest that someone has died from the disease and been diagnosed with the disease. The researchers found out 3, 627 admissions for CVD with SLE among females had an average age of 60.8 and without SLE who were admitted had an average age of 71.3.
