This number is expected to grow to 340 million people by 2030. The majority of people with AMD live in the developed world, with the United States, Europe, and Japan having the highest prevalence rates due to aging populations and risk factors such as smoking and obesity.
The prevalence of AMD is estimated to be around 8% in people aged 65 and over.
