对翼状胬肉的患病率进行了调查，并对秘鲁利马的四家医院的367名患者进行了随机比例抽样。发现总发病率为31.06%，在统计学上，患病率随着年龄的增长而显著增加。虽然翼状胬肉的发病率在男性和户外工作者中较高，但这些因素在统计学上并不显著。
A survey of the prevalence of pterygium was performed, and a random proportional sampling was taken of 367 patients in four hospitals in Lima, Peru. An overall incidence of 31.06% was found, with a statistically significant increase in prevalence with regard to age. No statistically significant differences with regard to sex or occupation were found. Although incidence of pterygium was higher in men and in outdoor workers, these factors were not statistically significant.
