What is the prevalence of Ankylosing Spondylitis?
How many people does Ankylosing Spondylitis affect? Does it have the same prevalence in men and women? And in the different countries?
It is believed to be rare but it is more often simply undiagnosed due no set test for it. The ratio of men to women used to be 10:1 but it has recently been changed to 3:1. The average length of time to diagnose is 10 years. Women tend to present with different symptoms to men and often are misdiagnosed

Recent studies show that what once you to say men are more prevalent is not anymore accurate.
It seems that an average of 1% of the population is affected by AS, and this is the number diagnose, let's remember all the undiagnosed cases and where there is not studies, like some countries.
