The prevalence of beta-thalassemia carrier is 1.5% of the world population which is mainly in regions with a historical association with [[malaria]], including the Mediterranean, Middle East, Central Asia, Indian subcontinent, and parts of Southeast Asia and Africa. The incidence of beta-thalassemia is 42,000 per year. It affects both males and females in a similar demographic manner. | |||

Overview
The prevalence of beta-thalassemia carrier is 1.5% of the world population which is mainly in regions with a historical association with malaria, including the Mediterranean, Middle East, Central Asia, Indian subcontinent, and parts of Southeast Asia and Africa. The incidence of beta-thalassemia is 42,000 per year. It affects both males and females in a similar demographic manner.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
There are insufficient data about the exact prevalence of beta-thalassemia.
- The prevalence of beta-thalassemia carrier is 1.5% of the world population.[1]
- More than 90% of the cases live in a geographic "belt" extending from the Mediterranean basin and parts of Africa, throughout the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, and Melanesia into the Pacific Islands (regions with a historical association with malaria).[2][3]
- There are increases in the number of cases through North America and Europe, which reflects the increased rates of migrations, refugees and adaptation of children.[4]
- Gender distribution: It affects both males and females in a similar demographic manner. Lahiry P, Al-Attar SA, Hegele RA. Understanding beta-thalassemia with a focus on the Indian subcontinent and the Middle East. The open hematology journal. 2008 Jan 22;2(1).
Incident
- The incidence of beta-thalassemia is 42,000 per year.[5]
- Recent studies suggest that around 23000 infants with beta-thalassemia major are born every year and up to 90% of these infants are in low- or middle-income countries.[1]
