Rheumatic (or systemic autoimmune) diseases disproportionately impact young ladies: the female-to-male ratio for patients with systemic lupus erythematosus during the reproductive years is around 9:1. In the mid- to late-twentieth century, females with rheumatic disease medical diagnoses were often encouraged to prevent pregnancy due to fear of disease exacerbation and adverse result.
