Who is most likely to contract adult-onset Still’s disease (AOSD)?
Slightly more than 1 person per 100,000 people are affected each year. Males and females 16- to 35-years old are mostly likely to contract AOSD. The condition seems to affect men and women equally, although some studies suggest women are affected slightly more than men. Seventy-six percent of people with AOSD are diagnosed before turning 35, and less than 9% are diagnosed after 50.
