Life Expectancy and Survival Rates. 5-year survival rate for Lupus: It is estimated that 97 percent of individuals with SLE live at least five years (Source: excerpt from Connective Tissue Diseases: NWHIC).
The majority of lupus patients are female, with men comprising only 4-18% of those with the disease.[1]. The male-to-female ratio in lupus varies between different age groups. Among children and early adolescents, one in four patients diagnosed with SLE is male. Between the ages of 15 and 50, males represent approximately 6-10% of patients diagnosed with SLE. After the age of 50, the disparity drops slightly, as men comprise one in nine new cases.[2]. 3.
