Statistics about Asbestos poisoning
| About statistics: This page presents a variety of statistics about Asbestos poisoning. The term 'prevalence' of Asbestos poisoning usually refers to the estimated population of people who are managing Asbestos poisoning at any given time. The term 'incidence' of Asbestos poisoning refers to the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Asbestos poisoning diagnosed each year. Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence. For more information see about prevalence and incidence statistics. |
