A
cautious estimation was made in Germany in the year 2003, which stated that
approximately 3 million people were affected by diseases of the lymphatic
system in that country. As there are no statistics in Spain due to the lack of
registration of these patients, the German estimation can serve as a guide to
calculate the possible number of people affected. With a population of
46,000,000 in the year 2014, it shows that there could be around 1,672,000
people affected in Spain by diseases of the lymphatic system. The result is close and equals that of the WHO (World Health Organization), which estimates that 1 in
30 people worldwide suffer from lymphedema.
Total number of people affected by diseases of the Lymphatic
