Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
There are insufficient data about the exact prevalence of beta-thalassemia.
- The prevalence of beta-thalassemia carrier is 1.5% of the world population.[1]
- More than 90% of the cases live in a geographic "belt" extending from the Mediterranean basin and parts of Africa, throughout the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, and Melanesia in to the Pacific Islands.[2][3]
Incident
- The incidence of beta-thalassemia is 42,000 per year.[4]
- Recent studies suggest that around 23000 infants with beta-thalassemia major are born every year and up to 90% of these infants are in low or middle-income countries.[1]
