Statistics by Country for Atherosclerosis
|
About these extrapolations of prevalence and incidence statistics for Atherosclerosis:
These statistics are calculated extrapolations of various prevalence or incidence rates
against the populations of a particular country or region.
The statistics used for prevalence/incidence of Atherosclerosis are typically based on US, UK, Canadian or Australian statistics.
This extrapolation calculation is automated and does not take into account any genetic, cultural, environmental, social, racial or other differences
across the various countries and regions for which the extrapolated Atherosclerosis statistics below refer to.
As such, these extrapolations may be highly inaccurate (especially for developing or third-world countries) and only give a general indication (or even a meaningless indication)
as to the actual prevalence or incidence of Atherosclerosis in that region.
About prevalence and incidence statistics in general for Atherosclerosis: The word 'prevalence' of Atherosclerosis usually means the estimated population of people who are managing Atherosclerosis at any given time (i.e. people with Atherosclerosis). The term 'incidence' of Atherosclerosis means the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Atherosclerosis diagnosed each year (i.e. getting Atherosclerosis). Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence. For more information see about prevalence and incidence statistics. |
Prevalance of Atherosclerosis: 17 per 1000 - NHIS95
Prevalance Rate for Atherosclerosis: approx 1 in 58 or 1.70% or 4.6 million people in USA [about data]
Extrapolation of Prevalence Rate of Atherosclerosis to Countries and Regions: The following table attempts to extrapolate the above prevalence rate for Atherosclerosis to the populations of various countries and regions. As discussed above, these prevalence extrapolations for Atherosclerosis are only estimates and may have limited relevance to the actual prevalence of Atherosclerosis in any region:
