Hi @teddyz and @nyxgirl,
"These disorders occur primarily in patients older than 50..., in women more than men; they are propagated by antigen-driven, cell mediated immune mechanisms that may be associated
with specific genetic markers...
...the highest rates occurring in Scandanavian countries." (Cecil and Goldman's Textbook of Medicine, Chapter on Giant Cell Arteritis and Polymyalgia Rheumatica).
