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