Epidemiology
Meta-analysis of observational studies suggests a primary RP prevalence of approximately 3% to 5% in the general population.[3] The lowest prevalence was found in Japan (1.6%) and the highest in the US (7.5%). The pooled annual incidence of primary RP was 0.25%.[3]
RP is more common in women and in colder climates.[4]
