Overview

Incidence of temporal arteritis ranges from approximately 0.5 to 27 cases per 100,000 people aged 50 years or older. The incidence of temporal arteritis increases with age; the median age at diagnosis is 76.7 years. Temporal arteritis commonly affects individuals older than 70 years of age. Temporal arteritis usually affects individuals of the white race. Black, Asians, and Hispanic individuals are less likely to develop temporal arteritis. Women are more commonly affected by temporal arteritis than men. The female to male ratio is approximately 3 to 1. The highest incidence of temporal arteritis is reported in Scandanavian countries at 32.7 per 100,000 people for people over 50 years of age.
