About statistics:
This page presents a variety of statistics about Alopecia Areata.
The term 'prevalence' of Alopecia Areata usually refers to the estimated population
of people who are managing Alopecia Areata at any given time.
The term 'incidence' of Alopecia Areata refers to the annual diagnosis rate,
or the number of new cases of Alopecia Areata 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.
