What percentage of which races get yeast infections?
At this point, there’s some significant problems finding out if there is any correlation between race and likelihood of suffering yeast infections. There are apparently a lot of people out there asking what percentage of Filipinos or what percentage of people with African or Caucasian descent will most likely suffer from yeast infections, but race does not seem to be a major indicator. Candida yeasts are found literally all over the world, and no one “race” can claim any more or less immunity than any other. Internal balance, lack of stress, and a properly functioning immune system are the most important factors for avoiding a yeast infection. If someone has a genetic tendency to physical stress or a genetic tendency to a poor immune system, then obviously that person will probably have more problems with yeast infections than someone who does not. However, no genetic correlation has ever been found between these genetic tendencies and race or origin.
