Incidence (annual) of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease: 1-per-million

Incidence Rate: approx 1 in 1,000,000 or 0.00% or 271 people in USA [about data]

Incidence extrapolations for USA for Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease: 271 per year, 22 per month, 5 per week, 0 per day, 0 per hour, 0 per minute, 0 per second. Note: this extrapolation calculation uses the incidence statistic: 1-per-million

Prevalance of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease: It affects about one person in every one million people per year worldwide; in the United States there are about 200 cases per year. (Source: excerpt from Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Fact Sheet: NINDS) ... On the basis of mortality surveillance from 1979 to 1994, the annual incidence of CJD remained stable at approximately 1 case per million persons in the United States. (Source: excerpt from Facts About Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease: CDC-OC) ... The usual type of CJD occurs worldwide and strikes about one in a million people per year. (Source: excerpt from Update Follow-Up Study of NHPP Growth Hormone Recipients: NIDDK)

About statistics:

This page presents a variety of statistics about Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. The term 'prevalence' of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease usually refers to the estimated population of people who are managing Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease at any given time. The term 'incidence' of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease refers to the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease diagnosed each year. Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short-lived 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.
