Overview
The prevalence of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) or ankylosing spondylitis in a population depends upon the following 1)Ethnic groups 2)Selection of subjects for evaluation and 3)The criteria for diagnosis.It shows a clear evidence that correlation between the prevalence of ankylosing spondylitis (AS)/axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) in a given population and the prevalence of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B27 exits.

- The incidence of ankylosing spondylitis is approximately 6–7 per 100,000 persons in caucasian populations.
