Overview
Unlike some other lymphomas, whose incidence increases with age, Hodgkin's lymphoma has a bimodal incidence curve; that is, it occurs most frequently in two separate age groups, the first being young adulthood (age 15–35) and the second being in those over 55 years old although these peaks may vary slightly with nationality.[1] Overall, Hogkin's lymphoma is reported more in men with the exception of the nodular sclerosis variant. The incidence of Hodgkin's lymphoma is higher among patients with HIV/AIDS; however, in contrast to many other lymphomas associated with HIV infection, Hodgkin's lymphoma occurs most commonly in patients with higher CD4 T cell counts.[2]
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
- In the United States, the age adjusted prevalence of Hodgkin's lymphoma is 0.035% in 2011.[3]
Incidence
- The delay-adjusted incidence of Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2011 was estimated to be 2.8 per 100,000 persons in the United States.[3]
- In 2011, the age-adjusted incidence of Hodgkin's lymphoma was 2.71 per 100,000 persons in the United States.[3]
Age
- While the overall age adjusted incidence of Hodgkin's lymphoma in the United States between 2007 and 2011 is 2.7 per 100,000, the age-adjusted incidence of Hodgkin's lymphoma by age category is:[3]
- Between 20 and 29 years: 4.1-4,5 per 100,000
- Under 65 years: 2.5 per 100,000
