Overview
The prevalence of diverticulosis is age-dependent. The prevalence increases from fewer than 20% at age 40 to approximately 60% by age 60. At young age (<50 years), males are more commonly affected with diverticulosis than females, but there is a female preponderance after the age of 40-50 years. Caucasian individuals are at higher risk of developing diverticulosis compared with Asian and non-African Black individuals. Diverticulosis is more commonly diagnosed in developed countries than in developing countries.
Epidemiology
Age
- The prevalence of diverticulosis is age-dependent. The prevalence increases from fewer than 20% at age 40 to approximately 60% by age 60.[1][2]
Gender
- At young age (<50 years), males are more commonly affected with diverticulosis than females.
- At older age, women are more frequently affected with diverticulosis than males.[3]
Race
- There is a slight racial predilection to the development of diverticulosis.
- Caucasian individuals are at higher risk of developing diverticulosis compared with Asian and non-African Black individuals.[4]
Demographic
Developed Countries
- In patients above the age of 40 years, the incidence of diverticulosis in the USA is approximately 10,000 per 100,000 individuals.
This disease is frequently diagnosed in the US, Britain, Australia, and Canada.
- The majority of cases in developed countries are sigmoid-diverticulosis.
Developing Countries
- Diverticulosis is less commonly diagnosed in developing countries compared with developed countries.
- In Asia, the rate of right-sided diverticulosis is more common than in the developed countries, but sigmoid diverticlosis remains the most common location for diverticulosis.[5]
