Statistics by Country for Muscular Dystrophy
|
About these extrapolations of prevalence and incidence statistics for Muscular Dystrophy:
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 Muscular Dystrophy 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 Muscular Dystrophy 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 Muscular Dystrophy in that region.
About prevalence and incidence statistics in general for Muscular Dystrophy: The word 'prevalence' of Muscular Dystrophy usually means the estimated population of people who are managing Muscular Dystrophy at any given time (i.e. people with Muscular Dystrophy). The term 'incidence' of Muscular Dystrophy means the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Muscular Dystrophy diagnosed each year (i.e. getting Muscular Dystrophy). 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. |
Incidence (annual) of Muscular Dystrophy: 7 annual cases in Victoria 1996 (DHS-VIC)
Incidence Rate for Muscular Dystrophy: approx 1 in 651,450 or 0.00% or 417 people in USA [about data]
Extrapolation of Incidence Rate for Muscular Dystrophy to Countries and Regions: The following table attempts to extrapolate the above incidence rate for Muscular Dystrophy to the populations of various countries and regions. As discussed above, these incidence extrapolations for Muscular Dystrophy are only estimates and may have limited relevance to the actual incidence of Muscular Dystrophy in any region:
