The incidence of primary spontaneous pneumothorax is approximately 7.4-18 per 100,000 individuals in males in USA.
The incidence of primary spontaneous pneumothorax is approximately 1.2-6.0 per 100,000 individuals in females in USA.

Patients of all age groups may develop pneumothorax.

There is no racial predilection to pneumothorax.

Males are more commonly affected by pneumothorax than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 3 to 1.
