Overview
Epidemiology and demographics
- In population studies, at least one episode of nausea was reported in more than 50% of adults, and one episode of vomiting in more than 30% of adults within the preceding 12 months, with nausea seen more in women than men. [1] [2]
- A significant psychological and economic impact of nausea and vomiting is seen with an estimated economic burden of $4-16 billion on US economy. [2]
- Only 25% of people with acute symptoms of nausea and vomiting seek medical help. [3]
Incidence
- Incidence of nausea and vomiting varies with the underlying cause.
- Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy effects 70% to 80% of all pregnant women. [4]
- Approximately 40% of patients experience nausea and 15%-25% patients experience vomiting with opioid use. [5]
- Incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting varies from 8%-92%. [5]
Prevalence
- In population studies, at least one episode of nausea was reported in more than 50% of adults, and one episode of vomiting in more than 30% of adults within the preceding 12 months, with nausea seen more in women than men. [1]
- Only 25% of people with acute symptoms of nausea and vomiting seek medical help. [3]
- The exact prevalence of idiopathic nausea and vomiting is not known. [2]
Age
- In a study of patients with nausea and vomiting in Australia between April 2000 and March 2006 vomiting was more often presented in children aged <15 years and decreased steadily with age. [6]
- Nausea was more often presented in age 15-25 years and less frequently in all other age groups.
Race
Gender
- Prevalence of nausea is more in females than males. [9]
- Nausea and vomiting associated with gastroenteritis is significantly more in males than in females. [6]
- Undiagnosed cases of nausea and vomiting are more commonly seen in females than males. [6]
Developed Countries
- In a study, nausea and vomiting was reported more commonly by less educated pregnant females (hence less common in developed countries due to high literacy rate) [10]
Developing Countries
- Developing countries may have more cases of nausea and vomiting due to low literacy and low socioeconomic status according to a study that involved cases of nausea and vomiting in pregnant females. [10]
