Statistics by Country for Syphilis
|
About these extrapolations of prevalence and incidence statistics for Syphilis:
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 Syphilis 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 Syphilis 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 Syphilis in that region.
About prevalence and incidence statistics in general for Syphilis: The word 'prevalence' of Syphilis usually means the estimated population of people who are managing Syphilis at any given time (i.e. people with Syphilis). The term 'incidence' of Syphilis means the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Syphilis diagnosed each year (i.e. getting Syphilis). 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 Syphilis: 70,000 cases (NIAID; CDC 2001)
Incidence Rate for Syphilis: approx 1 in 3,885 or 0.03% or 70,000 people in USA [about data]
Extrapolation of Incidence Rate for Syphilis to Countries and Regions: The following table attempts to extrapolate the above incidence rate for Syphilis to the populations of various countries and regions. As discussed above, these incidence extrapolations for Syphilis are only estimates and may have limited relevance to the actual incidence of Syphilis in any region:
