Point prevalence is 10-20% of the general population of Western countries with a much higher lifetime prevalence. Prevalence is similar in India, Japan, and China. IBS is less common in Thailand and rural South African areas. In Western countries, but not in India or Sri Lanka, females have a greater risk of developing IBS.
