AlaniDepartment of Medical Laboratory Techniques, AL Noor University College Mosul, IraqAutoimmune disorders represent a global public health emergency, affecting a wide range of age groups and ethnicities. The aim of the research was to determine the prevalence of autoimmune diseases among Al-Noor University students, revealing that 9.8% of participants were affected by immune-rheumatic diseases. Results indicated that females are more susceptible to autoimmune joint diseases compared to males, partly due to hormonal influences. Incidence rates varied among the studied autoimmune joint diseases, with rheumatoid arthritis having the highest incidence at 3.4% and psoriatic arthritis the lowest at 1%. The research also focused on the psychological impact of autoimmune diseases on students, highlighting that their mental health is affected when they fall ill at a young age. There is a need to increase awareness and educate students about autoimmune diseases to promote early diagnosis and appropriate care. The data provided by the research can guide healthcare policies and resource allocation to meet the needs of young individuals affected by autoimmune diseases.
