Prevalance of Cushing's syndrome:

Prevalance Rate for Cushing's syndrome:

Extrapolation of Prevalence Rate of Cushing's syndrome 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 Cushing's syndrome to the populations of various countries and regions. These prevalence extrapolations for Cushing's syndrome 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 Cushing's syndrome in any region:

Incidence (annual) of Cushing's syndrome:

Incidence Rate for Cushing's syndrome: approx 1 in 100,000 or 0.00% or 2,720 people in USA [about data] Extrapolation of Incidence Rate for Cushing's syndrome 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 Cushing's syndrome to the populations of various countries and regions. As discussed above, these incidence extrapolations for Cushing's syndrome are only estimates and may have very limited relevance to the actual incidence of Cushing's syndrome in any region:

About extrapolations of prevalence and incidence statistics for Cushing's syndrome:

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 Cushing's syndrome 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 Cushing's syndrome 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 Cushing's syndrome 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 Cushing's syndrome:

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