Figure 2: The Global Burden: Prevalence and Mortality Statistics — Dr. Pedro A. Deliz, MD
Autoimmune diseases now affect approximately 10% of the global population, with incidence rising 19% annually. This chapter presents the hard data — world maps, continent comparisons, mortality rates by disease, gender disparities, and the countries most affected.
This chapter is part of the complete "Immune Reset" book by Dr. Pedro A. Deliz, MD. The full text, clinical protocols, dosing recommendations, and referenced studies are available in the published edition.
