Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The incidence of Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is approximately one in four to eight million births worldwide.[1]
Prevalence
- The prevalence of Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is approximately 1 in 20 million individuals worldwide.
Case-fatality rate/Mortality rate
- In [year], the incidence of [disease name] is approximately [number range] per 100,000 individuals with a case-fatality rate/mortality rate of [number range]%.
- The case-fatality rate/mortality rate of [disease name] is approximately [number range].
Age
- Patients of all age groups may develop [disease name].
- The incidence of [disease name] increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is [#] years.
- [Disease name] commonly affects individuals younger than/older than [number of years] years of age.
- [Chronic disease name] is usually first diagnosed among [age group].
- [Acute disease name] commonly affects [age group].
Race
