The incidence of primary amenorrhea is approximately 3,000 per 100,000 individuals, mostly due to [[hypothalamic]] amenorrhea. The incidence of secondary amenorrhea is approximately 3,300 per 100,000 individuals. The prevalence of amenorrhea is approximately 3,000 to 4,000 per 100,000 individuals worldwide.

The incidence of secondary amenorrhea is approximately 3,300 per 100,000 individuals in Sweden. The prevalence of amenorrhea is approximately 3,000 to 4,000 per 100,000 individuals worldwide. The prevalence of amenorrhea was estimated to be 13,400 cases per 100,000 female athletes in Oslo marathon games. The [[Case fatality rate|case-fatality rate]]/[[mortality rate]] of amenorrhea is less than 1%, and seen in patients of [[Pituitary macroadenoma|pituitary macroadenomas]] or generally [[Brain tumor|brain lesions]] which cause amenorrhea. Primary amenorrhea is usually first diagnosed among [[adolescence|adolescents]] (around 16 years of age). There is no racial predilection for amenorrhea. Commonly, females in [[Developed country|developed countries]] experience [[puberty]] and [[menarche]] earlier than females of developing countries. This can be attributed to [[nutritional]] and socioeconomic situation but since the age of diagnosis of primary amenorrhea is based on the society's mean age of [[puberty]] onset and [[menarche]], there is not any difference between developing and [[Developed country|developed countries]] in terms of prevalence of amenorrhea. | ||

Overview
The incidence of primary amenorrhea is approximately 3,000 cases per 100,000 individuals, mostly due to hypothalamic amenorrhea. The incidence of secondary amenorrhea is approximately 3,300 per 100,000 individuals in Sweden. The prevalence of amenorrhea is approximately 3,000 to 4,000 per 100,000 individuals worldwide. The prevalence of amenorrhea was estimated to be 13,400 cases per 100,000 female athletes in Oslo marathon games. The case-fatality rate/mortality rate of amenorrhea is less than 1%, and seen in patients of pituitary macroadenomas or generally brain lesions which cause amenorrhea. Primary amenorrhea is usually first diagnosed among adolescents (around 16 years of age). There is no racial predilection for amenorrhea. Commonly, females in developed countries experience puberty and menarche earlier than females of developing countries. This can be attributed to nutritional and socioeconomic situation but since the age of diagnosis of primary amenorrhea is based on the society's mean age of puberty onset and menarche, there is not any difference between developing and developed countries in terms of prevalence of amenorrhea.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The incidence of primary amenorrhea is approximately 3,000 per 100,000 individuals, mostly due to hypothalamic amenorrhea.[1]
- The incidence of secondary amenorrhea is approximately 3,300 per 100,000 individuals.[2]
- The incidence of genital abnormality in patients with amenorrhea is about 15% (15,000 per each 100,000 individuals).[3]
- 10% of primary amenorrhea cases are caused by Mullerian agenesis, 10,000 cases per 100,000 cases.[4]
- Androgen insensitivity syndrome accounts for 5% cases of primary amenorrhea, 1.7 cases per 100,000 of population.[5]
- Anatomic defects incidences are including imperforate hymen of 100 in 100,000 women and transverse vaginal septum of 1.25 in 100,000 individuals.[4]
- Among the women with fragile X syndrome, 16,000 cases per 100,000 individuals would experience amenorrhea.[6]
- The incidence of Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome is approximately 20 per 100,000 individuals.[7]
- The incidence of Kallmann syndrome is approximately 2.5 per 100,000 girls.[8]
- The incidence of Turner syndrome is approximately 40 per 100,000 live female births.[9]
- The incidence of premature ovarian insufficiency is approximately 100 per 100,000 under 30 years, 400 per 100,000 around 35 years, and 1000 per 100,000 at 40 years of age.[10]
Prevalence
- The prevalence of amenorrhea is approximately 3,000 to 4,000 per 100,000 individuals worldwide.[11][12]
- In Oslo marathon games, the prevalence of amenorrhea was estimated to be 13,400 cases per 100,000 female athletes.[13]
- The prevalence of both primary and secondary amenorrhea is estimated to be 10-15 cases annually, in highly specialized referral centres.[3][4]
- Premature ovarian failure prevalence among women is 1,000 to 5,000 per 100,000 individuals.[14]
- Prevalence of oligomenorrhea and amenorrhea among polycystic ovary syndrome patients are 76% and 24%, respectively.[15]
- The prevalence of weight related amenorrhea is approximately 1,000 to 5,000 per 100,000 individuals.[16]
- Hyperprolactinemia prevalence among patients with primary amenorrhea is about 1%.[17]
Case-fatality rate/Mortality rate
- The case-fatality rate/mortality rate of amenorrhea is approximately below 1%, due to pituitary macroadenomas or generally brain lesions which cause amenorrhea.
Age
- Patients of all age groups may develop secondary amenorrhea, before menopause.
- The incidence of premature ovarian insufficiency is approximately 100 per 100,000 under 30 years, 400 per 100,000 around 35 years, and 1000 per 100,000 at 40 years of age.[10]
- Primary amenorrhea is usually first diagnosed among adolescence (around 16 years of age).
Race
- There is no racial predilection to amenorrhea.
- Menarche usually occurs earlier in non-Hispanic black girls compared to girls of the white race.
- Whereas, menarche in Mexican American girls is slightly earlier than girls of the white race.[18]
Region
- The incidence of secondary amenorrhea is approximately 3,300 per 100,000 individuals in Sweden. 0.7% of studied population have amenorrhea secondary to oral contraceptives.[2]
- In Oslo marathon games, the prevalence of amenorrhea was estimated to be 13,400 cases per 100,000 individuals.[13]
Developed Countries vs. Developing Countries
- Majority of times, girls from developed countries experience the puberty and menarche earlier than developing countries, due to nutritional and socioeconomic situation. But, since the diagnosing age of primary amenorrhea is based on society's mean age of puberty onset and menarche, there is not any difference between developing and developed countries in prevalence of amenorrhea.[18]
