Age

Pott's disease occurs primarily in adults in the United States and other developed countries. In developing countries, it occurs primarily in young adults and older children.

Gender

Developed Countries

In the Netherlands, musculoskeletal tuberculosis accounted for 3.5% of all tuberculosis cases between 1993 and 2001.

Developing Countries

There are nearly 6 million radiologically proven cases of tuberculosis in India. Of all the patients suffering from tuberculosis, nearly 1–2% have involvement of the skeletal system. Pott's disease is the most common form of skeletal tuberculosis, and constitutes about 50% of all cases of skeletal tuberculosis.
