The age of onset was determined in 1,053 consecutive patients having different types of leprosy. There were 675 males and 378 females. The majority had onset of the disease between ages 20 and 39, although all age groups were affected. The age of onset was significantly related to the type of leprosy; the mean was lowest in tuberculoid, highest in neuritic, while in borderline and lepromatous it was in between. The comparison of reports of the age of onset from India and elsewhere suggest that this varies in different regions with the country, and from country to country.
对1053例不同类型麻风病的连续病例确定了发病年龄。其中男性675例，女性378例。尽管各年龄组均有发病，但大多数患者在20至39岁之间发病。发病年龄与麻风病类型显著相关；结核样型的平均发病年龄最低，神经炎型最高，而界线类和瘤型则介于两者之间。来自印度和其他地区的发病年龄报告比较表明，发病年龄在不同地区因国家而异，且国与国之间也有所不同。
