I've been online for over a decade now, and have noticed more males showing up with problems concerning autoimmune processes. It used to be that females were 9:1 statistically over males for autoimmune diseases.

So I looked up the stats and found this very interesting article.
It has a table showing female to male statistics for US and some countries.

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science...91302214000466

It is a recent article too, so I think many here will find it helpful.
And it does show more males being affected by autoimmune processes today.
