Do a lot of people get temporal arteritis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There are certain populations that are at risk including those of scandinavian ancestry, but it can be found in all populations including blacks, asians, etc there is not a clear picture to predict who gets it but these are generalizations.
