There is little sex difference in the age-specific prevalence or incidence of dementia. However, women may be at greater risk of Alzheimer's disease and men of vascular dementia. There appears to be important regional differences in prevalence and incidence, although these are hard to quantify ...
The ratio is sometimes approximated as the difference between the infant mortality rate and the neonatal mortality rate. prevalence rate the number of people in a population who have a disease at a given time; the numerator is the number of existing cases of disease at a specified time and ...
The prevalences of GBV-C/HGV RNA, HBV, and HCV in the patients were significantly higher than those in blood donors ( P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the prevalence of anti-HCV among people with and without GBV-C/HGV RNA, while the prevalence of HBsAg among people ...
incidence, epidemiology, and target hosts between various global locations. The prevalence of dermatophytosis has greatly declined in many developed nations because of better hygiene, health care, and socioeconomic factors. Infections of the groin are more ...
The prevalence of valvular heart disease (VHD) is growing worldwide as a consequence of improved survival and the ageing population. Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) remains the most prevalent form of VHD and contributes to substantial premature mortality and reduced quality of life; RHD is primarily...
What is the difference between incidence and prevalence sociology? Incidence describes the current risk of getting a certain disease, while prevalence tells us how many people currently live with the condition, regardless of when (or even whether) they've been diagnosed with that particular disease....

(prevalence over 60%), there is no significant difference in prevalence by sexes[ 66 , 67 ]. the decline of prevalence in those older than 60 (50 in local surveys of vietnam) is probably due to the early death caused by clonorchiasis-related complications[ 68 ]. we also argue that ...
The prevalence of obesity has increased worldwide in the past ~50 years, reaching pandemic levels. Obesity represents a major health challenge because it substantially increases the risk of diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, fatty liver disease,
The prevalence obtained in our study is consistent with our previous result of 3.9% in a middle sample size research17. The result of our study is different from those obtained from Hong Kong (9.7%)9 and Taiwan (7.5%)8. The difference in prevalence between our study and the above studies...
