Statistics by Country for Gynecomastia
|
About these extrapolations of prevalence and incidence statistics for Gynecomastia:
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 Gynecomastia 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 Gynecomastia 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 Gynecomastia in that region.
About prevalence and incidence statistics in general for Gynecomastia: The word 'prevalence' of Gynecomastia usually means the estimated population of people who are managing Gynecomastia at any given time (i.e. people with Gynecomastia). The term 'incidence' of Gynecomastia means the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Gynecomastia diagnosed each year (i.e. getting Gynecomastia). 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 Gynecomastia: 15 million - 15% of adult men to some extent (unreliable estimate)
Prevalance Rate for Gynecomastia: approx 1 in 18 or 5.51% or 15 million people in USA [about data]
Extrapolation of Prevalence Rate of Gynecomastia to Countries and Regions: The following table attempts to extrapolate the above prevalence rate for Gynecomastia to the populations of various countries and regions. As discussed above, these prevalence extrapolations for Gynecomastia are only estimates and may have limited relevance to the actual prevalence of Gynecomastia in any region:
