Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
- The prevalence of behcet disease is approximately 80 to 370 per 100,000 individuals in Turkey[1][2]
- The prevalence of behcet disease is approximately 13.5 to 20 per 100,000 individuals in Iran, Japan, Korea, China and Saudi Arabia[1]
- The prevalence of behcet disease is approximately 7.1 per 100,000 individuals in Paris, France[3]
- The prevalence of behcet disease is approximately 2.4 per 100,000 individuals in European ancestry[3]
- The prevalence of behcet disease is approximately 34.6 per 100,000 individuals in North African ancestry[3]
- The prevalence of behcet disease is approximately 17.5 per 100,000 individuals in Asian ancestry[3]
- The prevalence of behcet disease is approximately 0.12 to 7.5 per 100,000 individuals in the United States[4]
Age
- Behcet disease commonly affects young adults 20 to 40 years of age[5]
Race
- Behcet disease usually affects individuals of the Turkish, Asian, and Middle Eastern populations.
- Middle Eastern and Asian individuals are more likely to develop Behcet disease due to the increased incidence of skin pathergy and HLA-B51 antigen
Gender
- Males are more commonly affected by Behcet disease than females. The male to female ratio ranges from approximately 11 to 1 to 2 to 1
Region
- The majority of behcet disease cases are reported along the ancient silk road ( from eastern Asia to the Mediterranean)[1]
- Behcet disease is most common in Turkey
