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