How common is Sjogrens syndrome?
Sjogren’s syndrome is a relatively common condition. In the UK, 3-4% of adults are thought to be affected. This makes it the second most common autoimmune condition after rheumatoid arthritis. However, the condition remains under recognised and often under treated. Sjogren’s syndrome can develop at any age, but most cases begin in people aged 40-60 years old. It is most common in women, who account for 9 out of 10 cases.
