What is the prevalence of Aortic Dissection?
How many people does Aortic Dissection affect? Does it have the same prevalence in men and women? And in the different countries?
A often quoted figure is 3 / 100.000 people per year (or 30 per million)
Some university hospitals claim it is much higher. Older people (70-80-90 yrs old) who die from acute AD are seldom checked with autopsy when they die.

I believe in the UK the statistics are 3/4 in every 100,000 people are struck by Aortic Dissection.
My personal opinion is that the numbers are higher and Aortic Dissection in some cases is underreported.

Again, from Wikipedia :
Aortic dissection is relatively rare, occurring at an estimated rate of three per 100,000 people per year.[1][3] It is more common in males than females.[1] The typical age at diagnosis is 63, with about 10% of cases occurring before 40.[1][3]

AD is fairly rare. They estimate 5 to 30 cases per 1 million per year. It is extremely rare in children, very rare in teenagers and young adults, and rare in adults and seniors.
