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