Overview

The incidence of delayed puberty (hypogonadotropic hypogonadism) is approximately 1-10 cases per 100,000 individuals worldwide.The precise prevalence of delayed puberty is not known completely. The whole puberty disorders prevalence is about 3000 cases per 100,000 individuals worldwide. Regarding the definition of delayed puberty, the disease commonly affects children under 15 years of age. Delayed puberty usually affects individuals of all races, equally. Definite diagnosis upon the mean age of puberty onset in any specific societies can help to reduce the effects of ethnicity on delayed puberty epidemiology. Boys are more commonly affected by delayed puberty (constitutional delay of puberty) than girls.
