Abstract:
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) disproportionately affects those with low socioeconomic status. Evidence from the past 2 decades has revealed clearer distinctions on the mechanisms of poverty that affect long-term outcomes in SLE. Poverty exacerbates direct, indirect, and humanistic costs and is associated with worse SLE disease damage, greater mortality, and poorer quality of life. Ongoing commitments from medicine and society are required to reduce disparities, improve access to care, and bolster resilience in persons with SLE who live in poverty.
