Statistics concerning circumcision are not readily available in the United States. During our study on hygiene, we polled Utah hospitals to ascertain the number of male births and the number of circumcisions performed. The percentage of infants circumcised varied from 0 to 100%, with a statewide average of 87%. The majority of physicians responding to the questionnaire practiced in Salt Lake County. Our poll indicated that their estimates of the incidence of circumcision were remarkably accurate.
