Statistics by Country for Presbycusis
|
About these extrapolations of prevalence and incidence statistics for Presbycusis:
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 Presbycusis 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 Presbycusis 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 Presbycusis in that region.
About prevalence and incidence statistics in general for Presbycusis: The word 'prevalence' of Presbycusis usually means the estimated population of people who are managing Presbycusis at any given time (i.e. people with Presbycusis). The term 'incidence' of Presbycusis means the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Presbycusis diagnosed each year (i.e. getting Presbycusis). 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 Presbycusis: 30-35% over 65 have some hearing loss, 40-50% over 70.
Prevalance Rate for Presbycusis: approx 1 in 25 or 3.90% or 10.6 million people in USA [about data]
Extrapolation of Prevalence Rate of Presbycusis to Countries and Regions: The following table attempts to extrapolate the above prevalence rate for Presbycusis to the populations of various countries and regions. As discussed above, these prevalence extrapolations for Presbycusis are only estimates and may have limited relevance to the actual prevalence of Presbycusis in any region:
