==Overview==
The [[prevalence]] of diverticulitis is 20,000 individuals at age 40 and 60,000 at age 60. The highest incidence is in patients between 18 to 44 years old. Men and women are equally affected by diverticulitis between 50-70, but men above 70 are more commonly affected than women. The [[prevalence]] of diverticulitis has increased in developed countries. In the United States, approximately 312,000 cases are admitted to the hospitals. In Japan, more cases of right side diverticulitis have been reported than cases of left side diverticulitis.


==Epidemiology and Demographics==
==Epidemiology and Demographics==
Diverticulitis most often affects middle-aged and elderly persons, though it can strike younger patients as well.<ref name="pmid17976749">{{cite journal |author=Cole CD, Wolfson AB |title=Case Series: Diverticulitis in the Young |journal=J Emerg Med |volume= |issue= |pages= |year=2007 |pmid=17976749 |doi=10.1016/j.jemermed.2007.02.022}}</ref>  [[Central obesity|Abdominal obesity]] may be associated with diverticulitis in younger patients, with some being as young as 20 years old.<ref name="titleDisease Of Older Adults Now Seen In Young, Obese Adults">{{cite web |url=http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/09/060923104630.htm |title=Disease Of Older Adults Now Seen In Young, Obese Adults |accessdate=2007-11-19 |format= |work=}}</ref>
In Western countries, diverticular disease most commonly involves the [[sigmoid colon]] - section 4 - (95% of patients). The prevalence of diverticular disease has increased from an estimated 10% in the 1920s to between 35 and 50% by the late 1960s. 65% of those currently 85 years of age and older can be expected to have some form of diverticular disease of the colon. Less than 5% of those aged 40 years and younger may also be affected by diverticular disease.
Left-sided diverticular disease (involving the sigmoid colon) is most common in the West, while right-sided diverticular disease is more prevalent in Asia and Africa. Among patients with diverticulosis, 10-25% patients will go on to develop diverticulitis within their lifetimes.

Overview

The prevalence of diverticulitis is 20,000 individuals at age 40 and 60,000 at age 60. The highest incidence is in patients between 18 to 44 years old. Men and women are equally affected by diverticulitis between 50-70, but men above 70 are more commonly affected than women. The prevalence of diverticulitis has increased in developed countries. In the United States, approximately 312,000 cases are admitted to the hospitals. In Japan, more cases of right side diverticulitis have been reported than cases of left side diverticulitis.
