What is the prevalence of Visual Snow?
How many people does Visual Snow affect? Does it have the same prevalence in men and women? And in the different countries?
I am not aware of prevalence studies about this condition because it's not been defined as medical diagnosis yet.

There is no statistic in this case. UK seems to have the most activity but yet be confirmed.

Visual snow is always present and persistent.

I'd say it's uncommon/rare

It is currently unknown how many patients suffer from visual snow worldwide. The available data tells us that there is possibly a higher prevalence of the disease in the male population and that the average age of affected subjects is relatively young (13).
The onset of symptoms can be in very early life, with most people presenting symptoms for their entire lifetime. There is also a proportion of subjects who have a sudden and unpredictable onset of the disease; this occasionally, but not necessarily, follows an identifiable cause.

On the map I see more men, I'm a woman myself. Only 5% of population got it or less I believe.

I don’t know anyone else who has it. I think it’s rare

This is currently unknown. Based on sufferers, around 40% have said they have had the condition for as long as they recall. There appears to be no difference is male/female ratio.

Results The visual snow population had an average age of 29 years and had no sex prevalence. The disorder usually started in early life, and ≈40% of patients had symptoms for as long as they could remember. The most commonly experienced static was black and white.
