The incidence ZD is approximately 2 per 100,000 individuals worldwide.^[1]^[2]^[3]

The prevalence of ZD is between 0.01 to 0.11% per 100,000 individuals worldwide.^[1]^[2]^[3]

In [year], the incidence of [disease name] is approximately [number range] per 100,000 individuals with a case-fatality rate/mortality rate of [number range]%.
The case-fatality rate/mortality rate of [disease name] is approximately [number range].

ZD commonly affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, especially people in their 7th and 8th decades.^[1]

There is no racial predilection to [disease name].
[Disease name] usually affects individuals of the [race 1] race. [Race 2] individuals are less likely to develop [disease name].

Males are more commonly affected by ZD than females. The men to women ratio is approximately 1.5 to 1.^[1]
