Overview
The prevalence of chronic diarrhea is estimated to be about 300-500 per 100,000 persons. In any given year, about 3–5% of the population has diarrhea lasting more than 1 month.
Prevalence
In developed countries, the prevalence of chronic diarrhea is estimated to be about 300-500 per 100,000 persons.[1][2][3]
