About associated conditions for Addison's Disease:
Associated conditions are those which appear
statistically related, but do not have
a clear cause or effect relationship.
Whereas the complications
are caused by Addison's Disease,
and underlying causes
may be causes of Addison's Disease,
the following list shows associated conditions
that simply appear with higher frequency in people
who have Addison's Disease.
In some cases, there may be overlap
between this list and risk factors
for Addison's Disease.
People with Addison's Disease may be more likely to
get a condition on the list of associated conditions,
or the reverse may be true, or both.
Whether they are causes of, caused by, or simply
coincidentally related to Addison's Disease
is not always clear.
