However, as individuals age, especially after the age of 50, the prevalence in males becomes higher than in females. myasthenia gravis patients often experience varying degrees of disability, leading to the need for long-term medical care, medication, and lifestyle adjustments. This also gives rise to subsequent challenges in caregiving, affecting both the patients' families and society.
