Presentation

Prevalence

  • 71.6% - 75.1% of the 2073 patients in a Belgian study of 2001 reported difficulty with calculations.[1]
  • Katrina Berne reports a prevalence of 75-80% for 'aphasia' (inability to find the right word, saying the wrong word) and/or dyscalculia (difficulty with numbers) - although she notes that this symptom is probably underreported and more prevalent than indicated.[2]
