Examples of prevalence in the following topics:
-
- Incidence should not be confused with prevalence, which is a measure of the total number of cases of disease in a population rather than the rate of occurrence of new cases.
- Thus, incidence conveys information about the risk of contracting the disease, whereas prevalence indicates how widespread the disease is.
- Prevalence is the proportion of the total number of cases to the total population and is more a measure of the burden of the disease on society.
- In epidemiology, the term morbidity rate can refer to either the incidence rate, or the prevalence of a disease, or medical condition.
- Compare and contrast the following concepts: epidemic, endemic, pandemic; incidence vs prevalence; morbidity vs mortality; incubation, latency, acute, decline and convalescent periods
