Overview
The prevalence of Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis ranges from 2 to 13 per million persons per year, with higher prevalences seen in Europeans.[1]
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
The prevalence of Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis ranges from 2 to 13 per million persons per year.[1]
Incidence
The incidence of Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis ranges from 0.5 to 6.8 per million persons per year.
Demographics
The rate distribution of Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis varies upon age, sex, and race.
Age
The mean age of diagnosis of Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis is 48 years of age. The incidence of the disease in female patients is between the ages of 14 to 74 years of age. The age for males is comparable to that of female patients with the disease.
Gender
There is no sex predominance for Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis. [2]
Race
The race most commonly affected by Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis is poorly documented. However, prevalence of the disease is seen both in Asian and European populations with an equal distribution.[3]
