Overview
Epidemiology and demographics
- In population studies, at least one episode of nausea was reported in more than 50% of adults, and one episode of vomiting in more than 30% of adults within the preceding 12 months, with nausea seen more in women than men. [1]
- Only 25% of people with acute symptoms of nausea and vomiting seek medical help. [2]
Incidence
- Incidence of nausea and vomiting varies with the underlying cause.
- Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy effects 70% to 80% of all pregnant women. [3]
- Approximately 40% of patients experience nausea and 15%-25% patients experience vomiting with opioid use. [4]
- Incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting varies from 8%-92%. [4]
Prevalence
In population studies, more than 50% of adults reported at least one episode of nausea, and more than 30% of adults reported one episode of vomiting within the preceding 12 months, with women reporting more episodes of nausea than men
Age
- In a study of patients with nausea and vomiting in Australia between April 2000 and March 2006 vomiting was more often presented in children aged <15 years and decreased steadily with age. [5]
- Nausea was more often presented in age 15-25 years and less frequently in all other age groups.
Race
The race has also been shown to be associated with differential rates of the experience of nausea with White/African-Americans experiencing less nausea than Asian/Asian-American subjects.
Gender
- Nausea and vomiting associated with gastroenteritis is significantly more in males than in females.
- Undiagnosed cases of nausea and vomiting are seen more commonly in females than males. [5]
