The incidence of ALS is about two per 100,000. This means that for every 100,000 people, two will get ALS. The prevalence of ALS is about eight per 100,000. This means that if you look at a population of 100,000 people, eight of them will be living with ALS. In the United States, approximately 30,000 people are living with ALS. There are about 5,000 new cases per year, or 15 per day. (As ALS is terminal and incurable, death rates are very close to incidence rates.
