Some take aways:
- an estimated 65 million people worldwide currently experiencing it
- Prevalence between 5% and 10% in some countries
- Few reliable estimates of the number suffering the most serious, disabling form, but likely over 4 million in the US alone.
- more common in women and older people
- best way to prevent it is to prevent the initial infection
