Overview

The incidence of AA amyloidosis is approximately 0.16 per 100,000 individuals in 2008 in the United kingdom. The mortality rate of systemic amyloidosis is approximately 100 per 100,000 deaths in developed countries. Secondary amyloidosis more commonly affects children. Men are more commonly affected by amyloidosis than women.
