Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
There are insufficient data about the exact prevalence of beta-thalassemia.
- The prevalence of beta-thalassemia carrier is 1.5% of the world population.[1]
Incident
- The incidence of beta-thalassemia is 42,000 per year.[2]
- Recent studies suggest that around 23000 infants with beta-thalassemia major are born every year and up to 90% of these infants are in low or middle-income countries.[1]
