About prevalence and incidence statistics:
The term 'prevalence' of Neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease usually refers to the estimated population
of people who are managing Neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease at any given time.
The term 'incidence' of Neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease refers to the annual diagnosis rate,
or the number of new cases of Neuronal intranuclear inclusion 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.
