Statistics by Country for Polio

Incidence (annual) of Polio:

0 annual cases of paralytic poliomyelitis notified in USA 1999 (MMWR 1999)

Incidence Rate for Polio: approx 1 in 0 or 0.00% or 0 people in USA [about data] Extrapolation of Incidence Rate for Polio 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 Polio to the populations of various countries and regions. As discussed above, these incidence extrapolations for Polio are only estimates and may have very limited relevance to the actual incidence of Polio in any region:

About extrapolations of prevalence and incidence statistics for Polio:

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 Polio 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 Polio 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 Polio 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 Polio:

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