Adults who have ever had hepatitis, by age group and sex, 2021, with 95% confidence intervals. CDC/NCHS.
In 2021, 1.6% of U.S. adults said a doctor or other health professional had told them they had hepatitis — of any type or cause.
| Age | All adults | Men | Women |
|---|---|---|---|
| 18–44 | 0.6% | 0.5% | 0.6% |
| 45–64 | 2.7% | 1.9% | |
| 65 and older | 2.7% | 3.2% | 2.3% |
- Prevalence rose with age for both men and women.
- Men were more likely than women to have had hepatitis at 45–64 and 65 and older; at 18–44 the two were similar.
The estimates come from household interviews of the civilian, noninstitutionalized population in the National Health Interview Survey.
