Overview
In the USA and Europe, the prevalence of esophagitis ranges from low of 10,000 per 100,000 persons to high of 20,000 per 100,000 people. In Asia, the prevalence of esophagitis is 5,000 per 100,000 people. In the USA, the incidence of esophagitis is 5,400 per 100,000 persons. In Europe, the incidence of esophagitis is 840 per 100,000 persons.The prevalence of esophagitis increases with age. Men and women are affected equally by esophagitis. There is no racial predilection for esophagitis.
Epidemiology
Prevalence
- In the USA and Europe, the prevalence of esophagitis ranges from low of 10,000 per 100,000 persons to high of 20,000 per 100,000 people.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
- In Asia, the prevalence of esophagitis is 5,000 per 100,000 people.
- The prevalence of EoE is approximately 50-100 per 100,000 individuals worldwide.
Incidence
- In the USA, the incidence of esophagitis is 5,400 per 100,000 persons.
- In Europe, the incidence of esophagitis is 840 per 100,000 persons.
- The incidence of EoE is approximately 10 per 100,000 individuals worldwide.
Demographics
Age
- The prevalence of esophagitis increases with age.
- Esophagitis affects all age groups but it affects more the people older than 40 years.
- Patients of all age groups may develop EoE.
Gender
- Men and women are affected equally by esophagitis.
- Males are more commonly affected by EoE than females.
Race
- There is no racial predilection for esophagitis.
- EoE usually affects individuals of the white race.
