Overview
It is more common in Israel, Japan and India along the "old silk route" than in the United States and Europe. The disease is most common among South Asians, who often smoke cigarettes made of raw tobacco (bidis).
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
The exact incidence of Buerger's disease is not known, since the prevalence of smoking has dropped and diagnostic criteria have become more strict.[1][2]
Prevalence
- The prevalence of Buerger's disease is approximately 8 - 12 per 100,000 individuals in the USA.[3]
- In 1947, the prevalence of Buerger's disease was estimated to be 140 cases per 100,000 individuals.
Age
- Buerger disease commonly affects male individuals between 20 - 45 years old who have a history of heavy smoking or chewing tobacco, with a median age for onset at 35.[4]
- Buerger disease does not affect the very young or elderly. However, an autoimmune disease in children may lead to Buerger disease.
Race
- Buerger disease usually affects individuals of the Jewish race, in particular Ashkenazi Jews. European individuals are less likely to develop Buerger disease.[5]
- Buerger disease is also prevalent among Mediterranean, South Asian, East Asian and Middle Eastern individuals.
Gender
- Buerger's disease is more common among men than women.[6]
- Woman and older adults are affected less often, however there is an increasing prevalence among women with a rising trend in smoking among them.
- Male to female ratio is 3:1
Region
The majority of Buerger disease cases are reported in countries such as Bangladesh, India, Japan, Korea and Israel.[7]
