Description: Despite the enormous public health of gastroparesis (GP), several gaps in our knowledge still exist. This chapter focuses on the epidemiology of GP with particular attention to those studies which have attempted to shed light on the conflicting definitions of the disorder, its most common etiologies, the incidence, prevalence, and the changing secular trends. The socioeconomic burden of GP in terms of costs, morbidity, and impact on patients' quality of life (QOL) are also explored.
