Statistics by Country for Fecal incontinence
|
About these extrapolations of prevalence and incidence statistics for Fecal incontinence:
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 Fecal incontinence 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 Fecal incontinence 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 Fecal incontinence in that region.
About prevalence and incidence statistics in general for Fecal incontinence: The word 'prevalence' of Fecal incontinence usually means the estimated population of people who are managing Fecal incontinence at any given time (i.e. people with Fecal incontinence). The term 'incidence' of Fecal incontinence means the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Fecal incontinence diagnosed each year (i.e. getting Fecal incontinence). 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 Fecal incontinence: 6.5 million Americans
Prevalance Rate for Fecal incontinence: approx 1 in 41 or 2.39% or 6.5 million people in USA [about data]
Extrapolation of Prevalence Rate of Fecal incontinence to Countries and Regions: The following table attempts to extrapolate the above prevalence rate for Fecal incontinence to the populations of various countries and regions. As discussed above, these prevalence extrapolations for Fecal incontinence are only estimates and may have limited relevance to the actual prevalence of Fecal incontinence in any region:
