Statistics by Country for Generalized anxiety disorder
|
About these extrapolations of prevalence and incidence statistics for Generalized anxiety disorder:
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 Generalized anxiety disorder 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 Generalized anxiety disorder 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 Generalized anxiety disorder in that region.
About prevalence and incidence statistics in general for Generalized anxiety disorder: The word 'prevalence' of Generalized anxiety disorder usually means the estimated population of people who are managing Generalized anxiety disorder at any given time (i.e. people with Generalized anxiety disorder). The term 'incidence' of Generalized anxiety disorder means the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Generalized anxiety disorder diagnosed each year (i.e. getting Generalized anxiety disorder). 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 Generalized anxiety disorder: 4 million adult Americans (NIMH); 2.8% adults (NIMH); estimated 3.4% adults (USSG)
Prevalance Rate for Generalized anxiety disorder: approx 1 in 68 or 1.47% or 4 million people in USA [about data]
Extrapolation of Prevalence Rate of Generalized anxiety disorder to Countries and Regions: The following table attempts to extrapolate the above prevalence rate for Generalized anxiety disorder to the populations of various countries and regions. As discussed above, these prevalence extrapolations for Generalized anxiety disorder are only estimates and may have limited relevance to the actual prevalence of Generalized anxiety disorder in any region:
