About prevalence and incidence statistics:

The term 'prevalence' of Arthrogryposis, distal, type 2A usually refers to the estimated population of people who are managing Arthrogryposis, distal, type 2A at any given time. The term 'incidence' of Arthrogryposis, distal, type 2A refers to the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Arthrogryposis, distal, type 2A 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.
