Well,...I've deleted the footnote callouts, but at https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/health-statistics/digestive-diseases this shows up:
Chronic Constipation Prevalence: 63 million people (2000) Ambulatory care visits: 4.0 million (2009) Hospitalizations: 1.1 million (2010) Mortality: 132 deaths (2010) Prescriptions: 5.3 million (2004)
Note that it COULD be a matter of who has the data. My ref is NIH and the data don't seem to be current. The image shows CDC and says last year. Or, of course, the whole thing could be smoke and mirrors, given the veracity of both the CDC and the NIH over the last couple of years.
