Statistics by Country for Iron deficiency anemia

Incidence (annual) of Iron deficiency anemia:

187,979 annual cases in Victoria 1996 (DHS-VIC); 20% women of childbearing age; 2% adult men (NWHIC)

Incidence Rate for Iron deficiency anemia: approx 1 in 24 or 4.12% or 11.2 million people in USA [about data] Extrapolation of Incidence Rate for Iron deficiency anemia to Countries and Regions: WARNING! EXTRAPOLATION ONLY. NOT BASED ON COUNTRY-SPECIFIC DATA SOURCES. The following table attempts to extrapolate the above incidence rate for Iron deficiency anemia to the populations of various countries and regions. As discussed above, these incidence extrapolations for Iron deficiency anemia are only estimates and may have very limited relevance to the actual incidence of Iron deficiency anemia in any region:

About extrapolations of prevalence and incidence statistics for Iron deficiency anemia:

WARNING! EXTRAPOLATED STATISTICS ONLY! Not based on data sources from individual countries. 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 Iron deficiency anemia are typically based on US, UK, Canadian or Australian prevalence or incidence statistics, which are then extrapolated using only the population of the other country. 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 Iron deficiency anemia statistics below refer to. The extrapolation does not use data sources or statistics about any country other than its population. 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 Iron deficiency anemia in that region. These statistics are presented only in the hope that they may be interesting to some people.

About prevalence and incidence statistics in general for Iron deficiency anemia:

The word 'prevalence' of Iron deficiency anemia usually means the estimated population of people who are managing Iron deficiency anemia at any given time (i.e. people with Iron deficiency anemia). The term 'incidence' of Iron deficiency anemia means the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Iron deficiency anemia diagnosed each year (i.e. getting Iron deficiency anemia). 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.
