Overview

The incidence of amyloidosis is approximately 1.2 per 100,000 individuals per year worldwide. The actual incidence of wild-type (senile) amyloidosis in particular is unknown. he mortality rate of systemic amyloidosis is approximately 100 per 100,000 deaths in developed countries. Patients with wild-type (senile) amyloidosis are almost always elderly (65 years of age or older). There is no racial predilection to wild-type (senile) amyloidosis. Men are traditionally more commonly affected by wild-type (senile) amyloidosis than women.
