Risk Factors for Dermatomyositis
Anyone can be at risk of developing dermatomyositis. Nevertheless, scientists believe that some people are more prone to this condition due to certain risk factors. Two age groups are most affected, including kids between 5 and 15 years old and adults between 40 and 60 years old. As for gender, more women develop symptoms than men do. While it is impossible to reduce these risk factors, regular health checks can help detect abnormal problems early and prevent further complications. [4]
