Statistics by Country for Mumps

Incidence (annual) of Mumps:

387 annual cases notified in USA 1999 (MMWR 1999); rare due to MMR vaccination

Incidence Rate for Mumps: approx 1 in 702,842 or 0.00% or 387 people in USA [about data] Extrapolation of Incidence Rate for Mumps 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 Mumps to the populations of various countries and regions. As discussed above, these incidence extrapolations for Mumps are only estimates and may have very limited relevance to the actual incidence of Mumps in any region:

About extrapolations of prevalence and incidence statistics for Mumps:

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 Mumps 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 Mumps 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 Mumps 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 Mumps:

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