Statistics by Country for Insomnia
|
About these extrapolations of prevalence and incidence statistics for Insomnia:
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 Insomnia 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 Insomnia 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 Insomnia in that region.
About prevalence and incidence statistics in general for Insomnia: The word 'prevalence' of Insomnia usually means the estimated population of people who are managing Insomnia at any given time (i.e. people with Insomnia). The term 'incidence' of Insomnia means the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Insomnia diagnosed each year (i.e. getting Insomnia). 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 Insomnia: 32 million (unreliable estimate)

Extrapolation of Prevalence Rate of Insomnia to Countries and Regions: The following table attempts to extrapolate the above prevalence rate for Insomnia to the populations of various countries and regions.
