Statistics by Country for Peanut allergies

About these extrapolations of prevalence and incidence statistics for Peanut allergies: 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 Peanut allergies 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 Peanut allergies 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 Peanut allergies in that region.

About prevalence and incidence statistics in general for Peanut allergies: The word 'prevalence' of Peanut allergies usually means the estimated population of people who are managing Peanut allergies at any given time (i.e. people with Peanut allergies). The term 'incidence' of Peanut allergies means the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Peanut allergies diagnosed each year (i.e. getting Peanut allergies). 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 Peanut allergies: 3 million Americans (peanut and tree nut combined; NIAID)
Prevalance Rate for Peanut allergies: approx 1 in 90 or 1.10% or 3 million people in USA [about data]
Extrapolation of Prevalence Rate of Peanut allergies to Countries and Regions: The following table attempts to extrapolate the above prevalence rate for Peanut allergies to the populations of various countries and regions. As discussed above, these prevalence extrapolations for Peanut allergies are only estimates and may have limited relevance to the actual prevalence of Peanut allergies in any region:
