Where can I find a list of diseases and their incidence rates? I'm giving a presentation on Long QT Syndrome, which affects 1 in 2000 people, or 50 per 100,000. I'm trying to find other, more well-known diseases with a similar incidence to give my audience a frame of reference.

(Note: This is not a duplicate of this question. That question is asking about very rare diseases, and the answers to that question reflect that)

    $\begingroup$ Welcome to Biology.SE. The question would be a better fit on Health.SE. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ The WHO probably have this kind of data. Consider this document for example. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Thanks. Didn't realize there was a Health.SE, I'll ask there if I can't find it from the WHO $\endgroup$
