背景白癜风是一种获得性的、特发性的、世界范围内常见的色素脱失性疾病，估计患病率为0.1%~ 8%。这些数字是根据临床人口研究和对地理封闭地区居民的实地研究得出的。我们的目的是收集所有关于白癜风在普通人群中患病率的可用数据，特别关注儿童/青少年群体和成人。材料和方法筛选可用的文献和在线数据库使用几个关键词。结果我们发现了50多项研究，使用了几种方法和一般人群的亚组。白癜风的患病率范围为0.06%至2.28%，而儿童/青少年人群的患病率为0.02.16%。结论在排除临床患者人群后，经常引用的8%的患病率无法得到证实。因此，白癜风的全球患病率范围在0.5%至2%之间。
Background Vitiligo is an acquired, idiopathic, and worldwide common depigmentation disorder with an estimated prevalence from 0.1 to 8%. These numbers are based on clinical population studies and field research examining inhabitants of geographically enclosed areas. Our aim was to collect all available data on the prevalence of vitiligo in the general population, paying particular attention to children/adolescent groups and adults. Materials and methods Screening of available literature and online databases using several key words. Results We found more than 50 studies that used several methods and subgroups of the general population. The prevalence of vitiligo ranges from 0.06 to 2.28%, whereas this was 0.02.16% in children/adolescents populations. Conclusions The often cited prevalence of 8% could not be confirmed after excluding clinical patient populations. Accordingly, the worldwide prevalence of vitiligo ranges between 0.5 and 2%.
