According to surveys, about 2/3 of patients develop the disease before the age of 40; statistics also show that there are two peak ages of onset, namely 15 to 25 years old and 50 to 60 years old. In 1984, my country conducted a large-scale epidemiological survey, surveying 6,617,917 people in 24 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the central government. A total of 11,393 cases of psoriasis were found, of which the standardized prevalence rates of men and women were 1.68% and 1.24%, respectively, with significant statistical differences, and the incidence rate of men was slightly higher than that of women. The highest age of onset was in the 20-24 age group (17.22%) for men and in the 15-19 age group (18.46%) for women. 75% of patients had their first onset before the age of 34, which also confirms the view that psoriasis is more likely to occur in young and middle-aged people. |
