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

About extrapolations of prevalence and incidence statistics for Paget's disease of bone:

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 Paget's disease of bone 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 Paget's disease of bone 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 Paget's disease of bone 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 Paget's disease of bone:

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