Women make up 90 percent of people with Sjögren's, but men and children also get it. The disorder occurs sometimes in connection with another autoimmune disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, primary biliary cholangitis or scleroderma. Women are at higher risk for developing Sjögren's as they age. And the disorder sometimes runs in families. Other than those, there are no clear risk factors for predicting who will get Sjögren's.
