Epidemiology
LSC is a common disease, with an estimated prevalence of 12%.[6] Anogenital LSC is estimated to occur in approximately 0.5% of the western European and American populations.[2] Although the peak incidence of LSC is between 35 and 50 years of age and the condition is more common in women, with a female-to-male ratio of 2:1, it can present in either sex and at any age, including during childhood, when it more commonly occurs in boys.[1][2][7]
