“…Severe health anxiety is highly prevalent, though it is difficult to say precisely how prevalent. Typically, severe health anxiety has not been included in large-scale epidemiological surveys 90 , and estimates are difficult to contextualise due to differences in operationalisation and methodology 91 . Factors likely to influence estimates include, but are not limited to:…”

For example, based on data from a recent clinical trial, I found that patients reported experiencing their first episode of severe health anxiety between 5 and 67 years of age, and that their present episode had lasted for 0.5 to 49 years.…”

“…Personen mit körperlichen Symptomen und Krankheitsängsten sollen nach ICD-11 die Diagnose einer Hypochondrie erhalten und nicht einer anderen Störungskategorie Zu den "neuen" Diagnosen nach DSM-5 liegen noch keine Daten vor -Schätzungen gehen jedoch davon aus, dass die Prävalenz eher steigen wird, da die "neuen" Diagnosen weniger restriktiv sind. Wird nur nach Krankheitsängsten gefragt, ohne dass die Kriterien einer Störung erfüllt sein müssen, so berichten bis zu 13 % der Allgemeinbevölkerung Krankheitsängste zu haben [20]. Insgesamt sind Krankheitsängste folglich zwar häufiger vertreten, nur ein kleiner Anteil der Personen erfüllt aber tatsächlich die Kriterien für eine Hypo-chondrie/Hypochondrische Störung im Sinne einer psychischen Störung von Krankheitswert.…”

“…Bis zu 34 % der Patientinnen/Patienten aus dem psychotherapeutisch-psychiatrischen Bereich berichtet, Krankheitsängste zu haben, auch wenn die Diagnose einer Hypochondrie/Hypochondrischen Störung nicht erfüllt ist. Frauen und Männer gelten in den unterschiedlichen Stichproben als gleich häufig erkrankt [20].…”

“…Weighted prevalence of hypochondriasis was around 0.40% (range: 0.0-4.5%) and abridged hypochondriasis 1.00% (0.6-2.0%) in general population. 9 These variations in the prevalence of health anxiety is due to different specialties, settings, and different medical diagnosis. There is minimal research in the area of health anxiety in developing countries such as India.…”
