Who is at risk for getting autoimmune diseases? There are more than 80 types of autoimmune diseases and new treatments for autoimmune diseases are being studied all the time and can affect many parts of the body. Women tend to be affected more often by autoimmune disorders; nearly 79% of autoimmune disease patients in the USA are women.
