Overview

The age adjusted worldwide incidence of gastroparesis was approximately 2.8 for men and 9.8 for women per 100,000 person-years for year 1996-2006. The incidence of gastroparesis increases with age; with peak incidence of 10.5 per 100,000 for age greater than 60 years.The female to male ratio is approximately 4 to 1.

Epidemiology and Demographics

Incidence

  • The worldwide age adjusted incidence of gastroparesis was approximately 2.8 for men and 9.8 for women 100,000 person-years for year 1996-2006.[1]

Prevalence

  • The age-adjusted prevalence of gastroparesis is approximately 9.6 for men and 37.8 for women per 100,000 persons.
  • Most recent studies have estimated prevalence of gastroparesis approaching nearly 2% of general population.[1]

Case-fatality rate/Mortality rate

  • The mortality rate of gastroparesis is approximately 4-38% over 2 years follow up time.[2]

Age

  • Patients of all age groups may develop gastroparesis.[3]
  • The incidence of gastroparesis increases with age; with peak incidence of 10.5 per 100000 for age greater than 60 years.[2]
  • Mean age of women with gastroparesis is 45 years.[4]

Race

  • There is no racial predilection to gastroparesis.

Gender

  • Females are more commonly affected by gastroparesis than males.
  • The female to male ratio is approximately 4 to 1.[2]
