The prevalence of the peripheral neuropathy is approximately 2400 per 100,000 to 7000 per 100,000 individuals depending on the region. The case-fatality rate of the peripheral neuropathy is very low. Patients of all age groups may develop peripheral neuropathy. The incidence of peripheral neuropathy increases with age. Peripheral neuropathy affects men more then women. The males develop neuropathy earlier than the females.

Overview

The prevalence of the peripheral neuropathy is approximately 2400 per 100,000 to 7000 per 100,000 individuals depending on the region. The case-fatality rate of the peripheral neuropathy is very low. Patients of all age groups may develop peripheral neuropathy. The incidence of peripheral neuropathy increases with age. Peripheral neuropathy affects men more then women. The males develop neuropathy earlier than the females.
