About incidence:

The medical term 'incidence' of Ulcer usually refers to the annual diagnosis rate of new cases of Ulcer. Prevalence is a different medical disease measure that refers to the estimated population of people who are managing Ulcer at any given time (e.g. prevalence includes people who have had a medical condition for a long time).
