Prevalance of Autoimmune thyroid diseases:

4 out of 100 women some type of autoimmune thyroid disease

Prevalance Rate for Autoimmune thyroid diseases:

Extrapolation of Prevalence Rate of Autoimmune thyroid diseases to Countries and Regions:

WARNING! EXTRAPOLATION ONLY! NOT BASED ON COUNTRY-SPECIFIC DATA SOURCES. The following table attempts to extrapolate the above prevalence rate for Autoimmune thyroid diseases to the populations of various countries and regions. These prevalence extrapolations for Autoimmune thyroid diseases are only estimates, based on applying the prevalence rates from the US (or a similar country) to the population of other countries, and therefore may have very limited relevance to the actual prevalence of Autoimmune thyroid diseases in any region:

About extrapolations of prevalence and incidence statistics for Autoimmune thyroid diseases:

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 Autoimmune thyroid diseases 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 Autoimmune thyroid diseases 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 Autoimmune thyroid diseases 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 Autoimmune thyroid diseases:

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