Prevalence of Myasthenia Gravis in the US and Worldwide Read Article...
A MGteam Member

The numbers are so low on the amount of people with MG in Australia that the don't register in the statistics.
The calculation is based on how many people live in Australia divide by the number I'd people diagnosed in Australia .
In USA that equation 341.1 per 1million people. With our population being 342.1 million people Which is about 116,724 people who would have MG.
According to DavidNewman 14 out of 100,000 people have been diagnosed in this country.
The numbers in Australia must be significantly lower.

I hope this helps

Let me start by saying I don't know, but I was told, approximately 14 people out of 100,000 is an estimated ratio of mg patients. Hope this is helpful.

Unfortunately, the search results don't include specific prevalence or incidence numbers for myasthenia gravis in Australia.

The available data shows global and regional estimates, but Australia isn't specifically mentioned. Here's what we do know about MG prevalence worldwide:

Global estimates
- 150 to 200 cases per Show Full Answer

Unfortunately, the search results don't include specific prevalence or incidence numbers for myasthenia gravis in Australia.

The available data shows global and regional estimates, but Australia isn't specifically mentioned. Here's what we do know about MG prevalence worldwide:

Global estimates:
- 150 to 200 cases per million people worldwide
- This may be lower than the true rate due to tracking challenges in some regions

Regional breakdown per million people:
- North America: 341.4
- Europe: 167.9
- South America: 149.8
- Asia: 127.4

For accurate information about MG prevalence in Australia, you might want to reach out to your neurologist or local MG support organizations, as they would have access to Australian-specific health data and statistics.

U went to Google for the math: for USA and this what it said👇🏾

Total people with condition: 341.1 (This is the number explicitly stated as having the condition).
Context: This would mean the condition is extremely rare, affecting approximately 1 in every million people in a population of 342.2 million.
2. Rate per Million People
It is very common for health data to be reported as a "rate per million." If the 341.1 represents the number of cases for every million people in that population:

Calculation:
Total people with condition: 116,724 people.

This is how rare MG is. Based on the population in this country 342.2 million people
