Tendinitis and bursitis: Causes and incidence
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))

Tendinitis commonly results from overuse or injury (such as strain during sports activity), another musculoskeletal disorder (such as rheumatic diseases or congenital defects), or aging.

Bursitis can occur at any age but usually occurs in older individuals due to an inflammatory joint disease (such as rheumatoid arthritis or gout) or recurring trauma that stresses or pressures a joint. Chronic bursitis follows attacks of acute bursitis or repeated trauma and infection. Septic bursitis may result from wound infection or from bacterial invasion of skin over the bursa.

About prevalence and incidence statistics:

The term 'prevalence' of Tendinitis usually refers to the estimated population of people who are managing Tendinitis at any given time. The term 'incidence' of Tendinitis refers to the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Tendinitis 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.
