   What is the difference between prevalence and incidence?

   • The following paper also explains the concept very well: Measures of Disease Frequency: Prevalence and Incidence. Prevalence differs from incidence proportion as prevalence includes all cases (new and pre-existing cases) in the population at the specified time whereas incidence is limited to new cases only.

   What is prevalence based on?

   • Prevalence is based on both incidence and duration of illness. High prevalence of a disease within a population might reflect high incidence or prolonged survival without cure or both. Conversely, low prevalence might indicate low incidence, a rapidly fatal process, or rapid recovery.

   How does incidence affect prevalence?

   • Incidence, the rate at which new cases of a disease occur, can influence prevalence, the proportion of the population affected by the disease at a specific time. An increase in incidence, assuming the disease duration remains constant, will lead to a rise in prevalence.

   What is prevalence & incidence in epidemiology?

   • Articles often publish statistics in relation to prevalence and incidence of conditions or diseases. This is particularly topical as epidemiology has been discussed more widely in the media recently in relation to the COVID-19 crisis. Both prevalence and incidence are epidemiological measures showing information about disease in the population.
