Asia Pacific To Account For A Prominent Myasthenia Gravis Treatment Market Share During The Forecast Period, Backed By Improvements In Healthcare Reforms

(MENAFN- Straits Research) Myasthenia gravis (MG) is one and a half times more prevalent among women, as compared to men and affects an estimated two to seven out of every 10,000 people in Western countries. It can affect people of any age, but the average age among females is 28 while that among males is 42. In approximately 10% of cases, myasthenia gravis begins in childhood. Autoimmune disorders
arise when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue. In this condition, antibodies attack the neuromuscular junction, which damages the neuromuscular membrane and reduces the effect of the neurotransmitter substance acetylcholine, a crucial substance for communication between nerve cells and muscles. According to the National Institutes of Health, myasthenia gravis commonly occurs in people over the age of 40. Women are more likely to be diagnosed as younger adults, whereas men are more likely to be diagnosed at 60 years or older.

Europe is expected
to witness
significant growth, owing to increasing government funding for the treatment of this disease and growing health consciousness. Asia Pacific is expected to hold a prominent share during the forecast period, owing to the growing awareness regarding neuromuscular disorders and vast improvement in healthcare reforms in the region. The LAMEA region, on the other hand, is expected to witness slow growth, due to poor infrastructure development and lack of sufficient government support.
