HCV Statistics - World
The World Health Organization states 170,000,000 people are infected with HCV. That means 3% of the world's population is at risk for HCV related problems such as cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer), and liver failure. The highest rate is in Africa where 13% of the population is infected. The Americas have about a 1.7% incident rate. US Viet-Nam era veterans (combat and non-combat) have a 7% incident rate; and soldiers who went through Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, have a higher incident rate. I went through advanced training at this post.
On the following pages, you will find information and statistics concerning Canada. From the Canadian information, I have extrapolated statistics and projections for Labrador West.
