Cishe umuntu oyedwa kwabangu-1 unesici sofuzo esenza ukuba lesi sifo siqale¹. Kodwa okufanele kuqondwe manje ukuthi lesi sifo singaba nokubonakaliswa komtholampilo kokuqina okuguquguqukayo ukuze izinhlobo ezinzima ze-hemochromatosis zihlale ziyivelakancane.

Abantu abahlaselwe yilesi sifo

The amadoda bavame ukuthinteka kakhulu kunabesifazane (amadoda ama-3 kowesifazane oyedwa).

Izimpawu zivela kaningi Eminyakeni engama-40 ngemuva kepha ingaqala phakathi kweminyaka engu-5 nengama-30 ubudala (i-juvenile hemochromatosis).

Lesi sifo sivame ukubonwa ezindaweni ezithile zomhlaba, isibonelo e-United States noma enyakatho yeYurophu. Ayitholakali emazweni aseNingizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia noma kubantu abamnyama.
