If prevalence of a disease is proportional to the incidence times the duration of the disease, what will happen to prevalence when the duration of the disease increases?
Group of answer choices
incidence will be higher than prevalence
prevalence will be higher than incidence
prevalence and incidence will be equal
incidence will first decrease then increase
Answer: prevalence and incidence will be equal.
Explanation: As the theorem , if the disease increase then the prevalence will be increased cause these are related with proportionally relationship.
Also, prevalence and incidence also related with proportionally relationship.
Hence , when the duration of disease will increase, the prevalence and incidence will increase at equal rate.

Prevalence-incidence bias occurs: a.The exposure is associated with a decrease in both the incidence and prevalence of disease b.Most commonly in cross-sectional studies c.The outcome has an influence on the duration of disease d.The disease has long duration

epidemiological overview: what is the incidence, prevalence, morbidity rate of cardiovascular disease in Central Florida?
Incidence and prevalence rates can also be used to compare the rates of disease across different settings (places), people, or time. We therefore need measures of comparison. The ratio of two measures of disease frequency is called the relative risk. The difference between two measures of disease frequency is called the risk difference, or rate difference. In some cases, it involves a measure in an exposed group (or groups) and a measure in an unexposed or comparison group. In other...
Most everyone agrees that when studying the incidence and prevalence of disease in populations, the research should be evidence-based. That is, to the extent possible, researchers should draw their conclusions after collecting and analyzing valid and reliable data. This is a good general principle. But sometimes healthcare professionals find they need to take action when solid data does not exist. Explain why this is so. Provide an example to support your point.
