Overview

The prevalence of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) or ankylosing spondylitis in a population depends upon the following 1)Ethnic groups 2)Selection of subjects for evaluation and 3)The criteria for diagnosis.It shows a clear evidence that correlation between the prevalence of ankylosing spondylitis (AS)/axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) in a given population and the prevalence of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B27 exists.

Epidemiology and Demographics

Prevalence[1][2]

  • The prevalence of ankylosing spondylitis is approximately 7-490 per 100,000 individuals worldwide.
  • In the year 2009, according to National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) the incidence of ankylosing spondylitis was estimated to be 6.1% cases per 100,000 individuals worldwide.

Incidence[3][4][5] 

  • The incidence of ankylosing spondylitis is approximately 7.26 per 100,000 persons in the adult population
  • The incidence of fractures in ankylosing spondylitis is approximately  4 to 18 percent .
  • The incidence of ankylosing spondylitis is approximately 6–7 per 100,000 persons in Caucasian populations.

Mortality rate [6][7]

  • The mortality rate of ankylosing spondylitis is approximately was 1.60 (95% CI 1.44-1.77).
  • The mortality rate of ankylosing spondylitis increased mostly because of circulatory disease that associated with ankylosing spondylitis.

Age[8][9]

  • The incidence of ankylosing spondylitis increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is second and third decades of life years.
  • Mostly 80% of the patients with ankylosing spondylitis(AS) experience symptoms at ≤ 30 years of age, But only 5% will present with symptoms at ≥ 45 years of age.

Race[10]

  • Ankylosing spondylitis(AS) usually affects individuals of the North America race. Japan individuals are less likely to develop ankylosing spondylitis(AS).

Gender[11]

  • Men are more commonly affected by Ankylosing spondylitis(AS) than women. The men to women ratio is approximately 2:1.
