Overview

Rectal prolapse is estimated to occur in ≈0.5% of the general population.^[1]

The incidence/prevalence of [disease name] is approximately [number range] per 100,000 individuals worldwide.

The incidence/prevalence of [disease name] is approximately [number range] per 100,000 individuals worldwide.
In [year], the incidence/prevalence of [disease name] was estimated to be [number range] cases per 100,000 individuals worldwide.
The prevalence of [disease/malignancy] is estimated to be [number] cases annually.

In [year], the incidence of [disease name] is approximately [number range] per 100,000 individuals with a case-fatality rate/mortality rate of [number range]%.
The case-fatality rate/mortality rate of [disease name] is approximately [number range].

Rectal prolapse can occur in all ages but commonly affects women in the seventh to eighth decade of life. ^[2]

There is no racial predilection to [disease name].
[Disease name] usually affects individuals of the [race 1] race. [Race 2] individuals are less likely to develop [disease name].

Females are more commonly affected by rectal prolapse than male. The female to male ratio is approximately 9 to 1.^[1]

[Disease name] is a common/rare disease that tends to affect [patient population 1] and [patient population 2].
