Incidence rates did not change significantly during this period (r = 0.39, p = 0.088). The incidence of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) was 4.1 (2.2\u20135.9) for the whole period, during which it increased significantly (r = 0.53, p &lt; 0.05). The incidence of microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) was lower: 2.3 (1.2\u20133.5)\/million. It also increased significantly (r = 0.55, p &lt; 0.05). The incidence of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis was 1.2 (0.4\u20131.9), which remained stable throughout the study period. The incidence of Takayasu arteritis was 2.1\/million (95% CI 1.2\u20132.9), and it also remained stable. Giant cell arteritis (GCA) incidence was 8.1 (5.7\u201310.6)\/100,000 population aged 50 years or older. In sharp contrast with other vasculitides, its incidence decreased significantly throughout the study period (r = \u22120.61, p &lt; 0.01).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion.<\/jats:title><jats:p>The incidence rates of vasculitides in the Jewish population of Jerusalem are in the lower range of global incidence rates.
