[Epidemiology of urolithiasis in south of France: A retrospective monocentric study].

CONCLUSIONS: Epidemiology of stones has changed with an increased incidence in women, and nephrolithiasis patients getting older. A change in the type of stones is observed with increasing the proportion of mixed stones especially among women. Nutritional and metabolic studies are needed to find the etiology of the change in the epidemiology of urolithiasis. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4. PMID: 27233891 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
