Who is more likely to get graves' disease?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Women: Women, aged 15-50 are the most likely to have graves' disease. But men, children, and seniors can have it, too. A family history of thyroid problems also increases the risk, but many people with graves' disease have no relatives with thyroid disease.
