Overview
Hiatus hernias affect around 1 to 20% of the population. out of these 9% are symptomatic, depending on the ability of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). 95% of these categorise under "sliding" hiatus hernias, in which the lower esophageal sphincter protrudes above the diaphragm along with the stomach, and only 5% are the "rolling" type (paraesophageal), in which the LES remains stationary but the stomach protrudes above the diaphragm. Hiatus hernia is more common in older people.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
- The prevalence of type I hiatus hernia in the adult population in North America is approximately 10 to 80 percent.[1]
Case-fatality rate/Mortality rate
Age
- Hiatus hernias commonly affects individuals older than 50 years of age.
Race
- There is no racial predilection to [disease name].
- [Disease name] usually affects individuals of the [race 1] race. [Race 2] individuals are less likely to develop [disease name].
Gender
- women are more commonly affected by Hiatus hernias than men. The [gender 1] to [gender 2] ratio is approximately [number > 1] to 1.
