There are no adequate studies of the incidence of urolithiasis in the USA, in spite of earlier claims that a stone belt exists in the southeastern section of the country. This report is the 1st description of the incidence and recurrence rates from symptomatic noninfected renal stones in a well-defined population. A total of 798 patients were enrolled in the study group, of whom 672 were incidence cases having had their 1st episode as documented residents of Rochester, Minnesota, between 1950 and the end of 1974. The annual age-adjusted incidence rate for females was stable over the 25-yr study period at 36.0/100,000 population. That for males increased significantly (P < 0.02) from 78.5/100,000 to 123.6/100,000. Recurrence calculations showed a high rate for both sexes in the 1st yr, followed by lower but constant rates for all succeeding years.
