Population-level findings reported here describe groups studied in the cited research. They do not predict the experience of any one reader.

Reading this site, sending email to a published contact address, or following a link from this site to a third party does not create a clinician-patient relationship between the reader and the medical editor, any contributor, shrinkMD Publishing, LLC, or shrinkMD.

Research and public-health data evolve. Every page displays a "Last reviewed" date and links to the underlying sources. We review core sources at least quarterly, but at any given moment a figure here may be one survey cycle behind the most recent publication. Always check the cited source for the most current value before relying on a number for a clinical or policy decision.

We link to external resources, including government dashboards, peer-reviewed journals, clinical practice guidelines, and a small number of related publications. We do not control and do not endorse the content of external sites unless we explicitly say so on the linking page.

Contact a licensed clinician in your jurisdiction. We cannot answer clinical questions by email, and email sent to the site is not a secure channel for personal health information.
