National retrospective registry survey on the epidemiology of sarcoidosis in Finland 2002−2022
Sarcoidosis was a more common disease in Finland than in previous studies. Multiorgan sarcoidosis among the elderly has increased over the past 20 years. This might be explained by changes in environmental factors associated with sarcoidosis. Significant regional differences in prevalence might be partly explained by familial clustering.
