Overview
Diarrhea is a common symptom of many different disturbances of gut function.

Chronic diarrhea is less frequent; 3–5% of thepopulation may have diarrhea lasting more than 1 month in any given year.
Epidemiology and demographic
Prevalence
- The prevalence of chronic diarrhea is 300-500/100,000.
- The prevalence of ulcerative colitis in adults in the United States was 238 per 100,000[1].
- The prevalence of Crohn disease was 201 per 100,000[2].
Incidence
- Incidence rate of chronic diarrhea has not been well studied.
- Incidence rate of ulcerative colitis range from 2.2 to 19.2 cases per 100,000 person-years.
- Incidence rate of chron's disease range from 3.1 to 20.2 cases per 100,000 person-years.
Case Fatality Rate
There are no case fatality rates for chronic diarrhea.
Age
There is no age distribution for chronic diarrhea.
Gender
Men and women are affected equally by chronic diarrhea.
Race
There is no racial predilection for chronic diarrhea.
Developed Countries
In developed countries the prevalence of diarrhea is 3-5%
Developing countries
The incidence of chronic diarrhea in adults in the developing countries has not been appropriately documented.
