This talk reviews the epidemiology of eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases (EGIDs). It first discusses in general how epidemiology can and has been applied to EGIDs, including characterization of the number of cases and trends in the number of cases, description of the natural history of disease, and investigation of risk factors. Next, it reviews the available data on the epidemiology of the non-EoE EGIDs. Then, it reviews the data on the epidemiology of EoE, which is more extensive than for the non-EoE EGIDs. These data include patient characteristics, incidence and prevalence, and risk factors (which can help to increase the understanding of why EoE may be increasing).
