Statistics by Country for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
|
About these extrapolations of prevalence and incidence statistics for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome:
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 Ehlers-Danlos syndrome 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 Ehlers-Danlos syndrome 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 Ehlers-Danlos syndrome in that region.
About prevalence and incidence statistics in general for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome: The word 'prevalence' of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome usually means the estimated population of people who are managing Ehlers-Danlos syndrome at any given time (i.e. people with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome). The term 'incidence' of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome means the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome diagnosed each year (i.e. getting Ehlers-Danlos syndrome). 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 Ehlers-Danlos syndrome: 1 in 5,000 to 10,000 (Ehler's Danlos National Foundation)
Prevalance Rate for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome: approx 1 in 5,000 or 0.02% or 54,400 people in USA [about data]
Extrapolation of Prevalence Rate of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome to Countries and Regions: The following table attempts to extrapolate the above prevalence rate for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome to the populations of various countries and regions. As discussed above, these prevalence extrapolations for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome are only estimates and may have limited relevance to the actual prevalence of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome in any region:
