Despite frequent mention in a diverse body of literature a precise estimate of the prevalence of HV is difficult to ascertain. The purpose of this systematic review was to investigate prevalence of HV in the overall population and evaluate the influence of age and gender. Methods Electronic databases Medline Embase and CINAHL and reference lists of included papers were searched to June 2009 for papers on HV prevalence without language restriction. MeSH terms and keywords were used relating to HV or bunions prevalence and various synonyms. Included studies were surveys reporting original data for prevalence of HV or bunions in healthy populations of any age group. Surveys reporting prevalence data grouped with other foot deformities and in specific disease groups . rheumatoid arthritis diabetes were excluded. Two independent investigators quality rated all included papers on the Epidemiological Appraisal Instrument. Data on raw prevalence population studied and methodology were extracted. Prevalence proportions and the standard error were calculated and meta-analysis was performed using a random effects model. Results A total of 78 papers reporting results of 76 surveys total 496 957 participants were included and grouped by study population for meta-analysis. Pooled prevalence estimates for HV were 23 in adults aged 18-65 years CI to and in elderly people aged over 65 years CI to . Prevalence increased with age and was higher in females 30 CI 22 to 38 compared to males 13 CI 9 to 17 . Potential .
