Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
The incidence rate of hookworm infection was 7.5/100 person-years.[1]
Prevalence
- Prevalence of Ancylostomiasis is approximately 1 billion people worlwide.
- The prevalence of ancylostomiasis in children increases with age, and typically reaches a plateau in late adolescence, whereas the intensity may continue to increase throughout adulthood.[2]
Age
- People of all ages are susceptible to Ancylostomiasis.
- Ancylostomiasis commonly affects children and women of childbearing age because of their particular need for micronutrients.[3]
- The overall prevalence of Ancylostomiasis in Zhongzhou was 33.2% with a greater prevalence among males.[4]
Mortality
Gender
- Men are more commonly affected by Ancylostomiasis than women, and this is because most likely related to exposure to contaminated soil.[2]
