Demographics
Labels Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that
chronic fatigue syndrome affects between 1 and 4 million people in the
United States. Most are young or middle-aged adults, with women being
affected four times more frequently than men. It is not known for certain,
however, whether women are more likely than men to get CFS or
whether they are simply more likely to consult a doctor about their
symptoms. Exact statistics about the frequency of CFS are difficult to
compile because the definitions of the disorder have changed somewhat
since the early 1990s.
CFS affects people of all races and ethnic groups. It appears to be as
common among African Americans and Hispanics in the UnitedeS
as among Caucasians. It also appears to be equally common at all levels of
education and income.
