Conditions here are listed by a combined measure of either prevalence or incidence. This gives an approximate measure of the "people affected" by the condition in any year. Prevalence refers to the total pool of people affected, whereas incidence is the annual number of new cases. Lifelong diseases like diabetes can have a low incidence but a large cumulative prevalence count, whereas short-lived diseases like flu can have a high incidence but a low prevalence. For comparison between prevalence and incidence rates see also our conditions by prevalence and conditions by incidence. See also details about prevalence and incidence statistics for more information.
In most cases, the prevalence counts
and incidence rates refer to the USA
or other industrialized nations.
Our estimates show
274
conditions affecting a million or more Americans,
181
conditions between 100,000 and a million,
and
19757
conditions of less than 100,000 US people.
