Prevalence and Incidence of Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1
Prevalance of Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1:
3 per 100,000 up to 20 per 100,000 (NIDDK) ... see also overview of Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1.
Prevalance Rate:
approx 1 in 33,333 or 0.00% or 8,160 people in USA [Source statistic for calcuation: "3 per 100,000 up to 20 per 100,000 (NIDDK)" -- see also general information about data sources]
Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1: Rare Disease
Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 is listed as a "rare disease" by the Office of
Rare Diseases (ORD) of the National Institutes of Health
(NIH). This means that Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1, or a subtype of Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1,
affects less than 200,000 people in the US population.
Ophanet, who are a consortium of European partners,
currently defines a condition rare when if affects 1 person per 2,000.
They list Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 as a "rare disease".

Multiple endocrine neoplasia:
Causes and incidence
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
MEN usually results from autosomal dominant inheritance. It affects males twice as often as females and may occur at any time from adolescence to old age, but is rare in children.There’s no racial predilection.

Peptic ulcers:
Causes and incidence
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Researchers recognize three major causes of peptic ulcer disease: infection with Helicobacter pylori (formerly known as Campylobacter pylori), use of NSAIDs, and pathologic hypersecretory disorders such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. (See How peptic ulcers develop.)
How H. pylori produces an ulcer isn’t clear. Gastric acid, which was considered a primary cause, now appears mainly to contribute to the consequences of infection. Ongoing studies should soon unveil the full mechanism of ulcer formation.
Salicylates and other NSAIDs encourage ulcer formation by inhibiting the secretion of prostaglandins (the substances that suppress ulceration). Certain illnesses, such as pancreatitis, hepatic disease, Crohn’s disease, preexisting gastritis, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, are also known causes.
Besides peptic ulcer’s main causes, several predisposing factors are acknowledged. They include blood type (gastric ulcers tend to strike people with type A blood; duodenal ulcers tend to afflict people with type O blood) and other genetic factors. Exposure to irritants, such as alcohol, coffee, and tobacco, may contribute by accelerating gastric acid emptying and promoting mucosal breakdown. Ulceration occurs when the acid secretion exceeds the buffering factors. Physical trauma, emotional stress, and normal aging are additional predisposing conditions.
In the United States, about 1.6 million people acquire peptic ulcers yearly. Males and females are affected equally, and incidence increases with age. A higher percentage of H. pylori infection occurs in people older than age 50.

About prevalence and incidence statistics:
The term 'prevalence' of Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 usually refers to the estimated population
of people who are managing Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 at any given time.
The term 'incidence' of Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 refers to the annual diagnosis rate,
or the number of new cases of Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 diagnosed each year.
Hence, these two statistics types can differ:
a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence,
but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence.
