Statistics by Country for Uterine fibroids
|
About these extrapolations of prevalence and incidence statistics for Uterine fibroids:
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 Uterine fibroids 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 Uterine fibroids 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 Uterine fibroids in that region.
About prevalence and incidence statistics in general for Uterine fibroids: The word 'prevalence' of Uterine fibroids usually means the estimated population of people who are managing Uterine fibroids at any given time (i.e. people with Uterine fibroids). The term 'incidence' of Uterine fibroids means the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Uterine fibroids diagnosed each year (i.e. getting Uterine fibroids). 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 Uterine fibroids: 10-20% women (NWHIC)
Prevalance Rate for Uterine fibroids: approx 1 in 20 or 5.00% or 13.6 million people in USA [about data]
Extrapolation of Prevalence Rate of Uterine fibroids to Countries and Regions: The following table attempts to extrapolate the above prevalence rate for Uterine fibroids to the populations of various countries and regions. As discussed above, these prevalence extrapolations for Uterine fibroids are only estimates and may have limited relevance to the actual prevalence of Uterine fibroids in any region:
