Statistics by Country for Hay fever
|
About these extrapolations of prevalence and incidence statistics for Hay fever:
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 Hay fever 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 Hay fever 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 Hay fever in that region.
About prevalence and incidence statistics in general for Hay fever: The word 'prevalence' of Hay fever usually means the estimated population of people who are managing Hay fever at any given time (i.e. people with Hay fever). The term 'incidence' of Hay fever means the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Hay fever diagnosed each year (i.e. getting Hay fever). 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 Hay fever: 35 million Americans (NIAID: pollen allergies)
Prevalance Rate for Hay fever: approx 1 in 7 or 12.87% or 35 million people in USA [about data]
Extrapolation of Prevalence Rate of Hay fever to Countries and Regions: The following table attempts to extrapolate the above prevalence rate for Hay fever to the populations of various countries and regions. As discussed above, these prevalence extrapolations for Hay fever are only estimates and may have limited relevance to the actual prevalence of Hay fever in any region:
