Overview
The prevalence of peripheral arterial disease varies considerably depending on the definition of PAD as well as on the age of the studied population [1]. The overall prevalence of peripheral arterial disease in the general population is 12–14%. The prevalence of PAD is higher in the elderly and affects up to 20% of patients over the age of 70 years [2].
Epidemiology and Demographics
- The prevalence of PVD varies considerably depending on how PAD is defined, and the age of the population being studied.
- The overall prevalence of peripheral vascular disease in the general population is 12–14%, affecting up to 20% of those over 70[2]
- The incidence of symptomatic PVD increases with age, from about 0.3% per year for men aged 40–55 years to about 1% per year for men aged over 75 years[1].
- 70%–80% of affected individuals are asymptomatic and only a minority ever require revascularisation or amputation.
- Peripheral vascular disease affects 1 in 3 diabetics over the age of 50.
- Approximately 10 million Americans have PVD. Despite its prevalence and cardiovascular risk implications, only 25 percent of PAD patients are undergoing treatment.
