Addison's disease is associated with the development of other autoimmune diseases, such as type I diabetes, thyroid disease (Hashimoto's thyroiditis), and vitiligo. The presence of Addison's in addition to one of these is called autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome.
Addison's disease can affect people of all ages, but the most commonly affected age group is adults 30 to 50 years old.
