Specialized Statistics by Disease/Condition

Many of the figures provided for health status in the United States are not the result of absolute counts - the figures are inferred or extrapolated from either representative or random samples involving relatively few persons.  For example, the national figures currently quoted for prevalence of diabetes in the U.S. do not result from reporting by physicians and hospitals to a national disease registry, but are derived from two interview surveys - the NHIS (National Health Interview Survey - 100,000 persons annually) and the NHANES (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey - 5000 persons annually).
