Hylek - Prevention and Treatment of Venous Thromboembolism - Figure 5
Prevalence of Venous Thromboembolism by Age

Figure 5 illustrates the dramatically increased prevalence of VTE with age.[3] The Figure shows the results from a population-based study in Western Australia, with the dark squares representing males, the lighter squares females; it can be seen that the annual incidence of symptomatic DVT or PE increases from 0.03 at age <20 years to upward of 5.36 per 1,000 at the age of 80 or over.   Hylek E.
