Statistics by Country for Von Hippel-Lindau Disease
|
About these extrapolations of prevalence and incidence statistics for Von Hippel-Lindau Disease:
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 Von Hippel-Lindau Disease 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 Von Hippel-Lindau Disease 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 Von Hippel-Lindau Disease in that region.
About prevalence and incidence statistics in general for Von Hippel-Lindau Disease: The word 'prevalence' of Von Hippel-Lindau Disease usually means the estimated population of people who are managing Von Hippel-Lindau Disease at any given time (i.e. people with Von Hippel-Lindau Disease). The term 'incidence' of Von Hippel-Lindau Disease means the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Von Hippel-Lindau Disease diagnosed each year (i.e. getting Von Hippel-Lindau Disease). 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.
