Overview
The prevalence of failure to thrive depends on the development status of the country. Studies have suggested a prevalence rate of approximately 5% in the United States of America.
Epidemiology and Demographics
- A study in India found that 40% of the population were affected by mild to moderate malnutrition whereas western literature suggests a prevalence of 8% in the pediatric population. [1]
- Failure to thrive is seen more in children < 2 years of age and during their teenage years when the growth rate of the child is at it’s highest.
- The incidence of non-organic failure to thrive has been reported to be somewhere between 30%-50% in the failure to thrive patients. [2]
- There is no gender or race predisposition.
- It is found in those families who suffer from a lack of financial resources/education and are burdened with additional stressors like family discord, infidelity, psychiatric conditions, alcohol or drug abuse, etcetera. "Failure to Thrive: A Practical Guide - American Family Physician".
- Gretchen Homan et al reported that failure to thrive is prevalent in up to 10% of children in primary care and approximately 5% of those who are hospitalized.
- Another study suggested that failure to thrive accounts for up to 5% of the pediatric admissions for children less than 2 years of age.
- 15-30% of children seen by acute care services suffer from growth deficits. "Failure To Thrive - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf".
