Resumen
Abstract
Background Age at onset of disease (AOD) refers to the time period at which a patient experiences the first symptom(s). AOD varies among autoimmune diseases (ADs) and has been related to prognosis in some of them. Genetic, environmental and immunological factors may influence the AOD. Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) is considered an AD affecting mostly older women. However, information about how does AOD influence the course of SS is scarce.
