Overview
The prevalence of myelofibrosis is approximately 1 per 100,000 individuals worldwide. Myelofibrosis is a disease that tends to affect the middle-aged and elderly population with a mean age of 60 years at diagnosis. Males are more commonly affected than females. The male to female ratio is approximately 1.5 to 1. Myelofibrosis usually affects individuals of the Ashkenazi Jews race. African American, Latin American, and Asian individuals are less likely to develop myelofibrosis.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
- The prevalence of myelofibrosis is approximately 1 per 100,000 individuals worldwide.[1]
- In developed countries, the prevalence of myelofibrosis is ranged from 0.5 per 100,000 per year to 9 per 100,000 per year.[2]
Incidence
- In the countries of the European Union, the incidence of myelofibrosis ranges from a low of 0.3 per 100,000 persons to a high of 1.9 per 100,000 persons with an average incidence of 1.1 per 100,000 persons.[2]
- In Olmstead County, Minnesota USA, the annual incidence of primary myelofibrosis has been reported to be 1.33 per 100,000.[3]
Age
Myelofibrosis is a disease that tends to affect the middle-aged and elderly population. The mean age at diagnosis is 60 years.[1][4][5]
Gender
- Gender distribution can differ by the subtype of the disease with primary myelofibrosis being more prevalent in males and post-essential thrombocythemia being more common in females.[6]
- Males are more commonly affected with myelofibrosis than females with a male to female ratio of approximately 1.5 to 1.[7]
Race
- Myelofibrosis is more prevalent in the Ashkenazi Jews with an evidence of genetic transmission.[8]
