Overview

The incidence of reactive arthritis following a gastrointestinal or genitourinary infection is approximately 3-27 cases per 100,000 individuals worldwide. The prevalence of reactive arthritis is approximately 30-40 cases per 100,000 individuals worldwide. Reactive arthritis commonly affects young adults in the age group of 18-35 years of age. Men are more commonly affected with reactive arthritis than females with male to female ratio of approximately 4:1. There is no racial predilection to reactive arthritis.

Epidemiology and Demographics

Incidence

  • The incidence of reactive arthritis following a gastrointestinal or genitourinary infection is approximately 3-27 cases per 100,000 individuals worldwide.[1]
  • The incidence rate of reactive arthritis varies with the underlying infection.[2]

Prevalence

  • The prevalence of reactive arthritis is approximately 30-40 cases per 100,000 individuals worldwide.[3][4][5]

Age

  • Patients of all age groups may develop reactive arthritis.
  • Reactive arthritis commonly affects young adults in the age group of 18-35 years of age.

Race

  • There is no racial predilection to reactive arthritis.

Gender

  • Reactive arthritis affects both men and women. However, men are more commonly affected than females.
  • The male to female ratio is approximately 4:1.
