Hello,

Thank you for your question. There are approximately 70,000 people worldwide with cystic fibrosis.

If you would be interested to find out more specific information about the incidence of cystic fibrosis in various regions this is a web address to a page on the European Cystic Fibrosis Society website where they have links to all National CF Association Websites listed by country:
