Sickle Cell Anemia is one of the most common genetic disorders in the world. Worldwide, over 300,000 babies are born with it each year. The majority of people with Sickle Cell Anemia are of African descent, but those of Mediterranean, Caribbean, Central and South America are also susceptible to the disorder.

After extensive research, It has been found that there is no known data for people with Sickle Cell Anemia world wide, but I have found the data for the United States. In the United States alone, 90,000 to 100,000 citizens are living with Sickle Cell Anemia. Out of the 100,000, 1 out of 500 African American babies are born with it each year.

1 out of every 36,000 Hispanic babies are
born with Sickle Cell Anemia in the world. In the United States, out of the 100,000 citizens with Sickle Cell Anemia, 1 out of every 1,000 to 1,400 Hispanic babies are born with Sickle Cell Anemia each year. Even though there are ethnicity factors, there are no gender factors, although females with this disorder live longer than males with the disorder. |
