In general different studies on the prevalence of angina in the UK give similar prevalence rates, although the rate appears to be higher in Scotland than in England.

Figures from the 2006 Health Survey for England suggest that about 8% of men and 3% of women aged 55 to 64 and about 14% of men and 8% of women aged 65 to 74 have or have had angina. From these prevalence rates we estimate that there are about 619,000 men aged between 55 and 75 living in the UK who have or have had angina and about 336,000 women giving a total of just over 955,000.

From the combined age-specific prevalence rates we estimate that there are about 726,000 men aged between 35 and 75 living in the UK who have had angina and about 393,000 women giving a total of over 1.1 million.

We estimate that for all people older than 35 there are about 1,132,000 men living in the UK who have had angina and about 849,000 women giving a total of more than 1.98 million.
