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