Overview
The prevalence of peripheral arterial disease varies considerably depending on the definition of PAD as well as on the age of the studied population. The overall prevalence of peripheral arterial disease in the general population is 12–14%. The prevalence of PAD is higher in the elderly and affects up to 20% of patients over the age of 70 years.
Epidemiology and Demographics
- The overall prevalence of peripheral vascular disease in the general population is 12–14%, affecting up to 20% of those over 70.[1][2]
- The incidence of symptomatic disease increases with age. It starts at about 0.3% per year for men aged 40–55 years and some studies have shown it to rise to about 1% per year for male patients aolder than 75 years.[3][4]
- 70%–80% of the patients are asymptomatic and very few patients will ever require revascularisation or amputation.
- Peripheral vascular disease affects 1 in 3 diabetics older than 50.[5]
- Approximately 6.5 million people in America have PVD.[6] Despite its prevalence and cardiovascular risk implications, only 25 percent of PAD patients are undergoing treatment.[7]
