The term 'incidence' of Enlarged prostate refers to the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Enlarged prostate 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.
