April 13, 2011 - PRLog -- Introduction

Even with the projected overall decrease during the forecast period, the prevalence of hepatitis B will continue to remain at the intermediate endemicity level. China will have an estimated 63.06 million prevalent cases of hepatitis B in 2020.

Features and benefits

* Gain insight into market potential, including a robust, 10-year epidemiology forecast of hepatitis B prevalent cases.
* Understand the key epidemiologic risk factors associated with hepatitis B in China.

Highlights

Datamonitor estimates that the prevalence of hepatitis B in China is highest among adults aged 40-49 years and also 50-59 years; both age groups are projected to have an increase in the number of prevalent cases during the forecast period, according to Datamonitor forecasts.
The increase in the two oldest groups (40-49 and 50-59) is directly related to the projected population growth in these age groups. The two age groups will remain unaffected by the change in vaccination policy during the forecast period.
