Statistics by Country for Multiple Myeloma
|
About these extrapolations of prevalence and incidence statistics for Multiple Myeloma:
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 Multiple Myeloma 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 Multiple Myeloma 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 Multiple Myeloma in that region.
About prevalence and incidence statistics in general for Multiple Myeloma: The word 'prevalence' of Multiple Myeloma usually means the estimated population of people who are managing Multiple Myeloma at any given time (i.e. people with Multiple Myeloma). The term 'incidence' of Multiple Myeloma means the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Multiple Myeloma diagnosed each year (i.e. getting Multiple Myeloma). 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 Multiple Myeloma: about 63,000 people affected by multiple myeloma ("Orphan Products: Hope for People With Rare Diseases", By Carol Rados, FDA Consumer magazine, November-December 2003 Issue)
Prevalance Rate for Multiple Myeloma: approx 1 in 4,317 or 0.02% or 63,000 people in USA [about data]
Extrapolation of Prevalence Rate of Multiple Myeloma to Countries and Regions: The following table attempts to extrapolate the above prevalence rate for Multiple Myeloma to the populations of various countries and regions. As discussed above, these prevalence extrapolations for Multiple Myeloma are only estimates and may have limited relevance to the actual prevalence of Multiple Myeloma in any region:
