Statistics by Country for Diabetic Retinopathy
|
About these extrapolations of prevalence and incidence statistics for Diabetic Retinopathy:
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 Diabetic Retinopathy 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 Diabetic Retinopathy 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 Diabetic Retinopathy in that region.
About prevalence and incidence statistics in general for Diabetic Retinopathy: The word 'prevalence' of Diabetic Retinopathy usually means the estimated population of people who are managing Diabetic Retinopathy at any given time (i.e. people with Diabetic Retinopathy). The term 'incidence' of Diabetic Retinopathy means the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Diabetic Retinopathy diagnosed each year (i.e. getting Diabetic Retinopathy). 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. |
Incidence (annual) of Diabetic Retinopathy: 65,000 diabetics develop proliferative retinopathy, the most sight-threatening stage in the US (Research to Prevent Blindness, NISE, NSF)
Incidence Rate for Diabetic Retinopathy: approx 1 in 4,184 or 0.02% or 65,000 people in USA [about data]
Extrapolation of Incidence Rate for Diabetic Retinopathy to Countries and Regions: The following table attempts to extrapolate the above incidence rate for Diabetic Retinopathy to the populations of various countries and regions. As discussed above, these incidence extrapolations for Diabetic Retinopathy are only estimates and may have limited relevance to the actual incidence of Diabetic Retinopathy in any region:
