Prevalence and Incidence of Edema

About prevalence and incidence statistics: The term 'prevalence' of Edema usually refers to the estimated population of people who are managing Edema at any given time. The term 'incidence' of Edema refers to the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Edema 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.
