==Overview==The prevalence of primary biliary cirrhosis is approximately 19 to 402 cases per 100,000 individuals worldwide.[1][2]Primary biliary cirrhosis commonly affects individuals in their 40s or 50s.[3][4]There is no racial predilection to primary biliary cirrhosis. Females are more commonly affected by primary biliary cirrhosis than males.[5]The majority of primary biliary cirrhosis cases are reported in northern Europe and North America (particularly in Scandinavia, Great Britain, and the northern midwest regions of the United States).[6]
