Acromegaly: Introduction and Epidemiology
Acromegaly is a rare hormonal disorder that occurs due to the overproduction of growth hormone (GH) by the pituitary gland. The prevalence of acromegaly varies across different regions of the world, with an estimated global prevalence of 60 cases per million population.
Acromegaly typically affects adults between the ages of 30 and 50, although it can occur at any age. The disorder affects both men and women equally. However, some studies have suggested a slightly higher prevalence in women.
The prevalence of acromegaly is highest in certain regions of the world, such as Southern Europe and Latin America, where it is estimated to be as high as 100-130 cases per million population. In contrast, the prevalence is lower in North America and Asia, where it is estimated to be around 40-60 cases per million population.
There are no known lifestyle habits that increase the risk of developing acromegaly. However, certain medical conditions such as multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) and Carney complex can increase the risk of developing the disorder.
In terms of prognosis, acromegaly can lead to significant morbidity and mortality if left untreated. The most common complications of acromegaly include cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, sleep apnea, and osteoarthritis. However, with appropriate treatment, the long-term outlook for individuals with acromegaly is generally favourable.
In conclusion, acromegaly is a rare hormonal disorder that predominantly affects adults between the ages of 30 and 50. The prevalence of the disorder varies across different regions of the world, with higher prevalence rates in certain regions of Southern Europe and Latin America.
