For example, the prevalences of bad and very bad SRH in low-income countries of East Asia (e.g. Lao's Democratic Republic, Myanmar, Vietnam and Sub-Saharan Africaa (e.g. Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Ghana, Malawi, Mauritania, and Zambia) are lower than in high-income European countries (e.g. Spain, Sweden, and Great Britain).
In the Netherlands, for example, the prevalence of hypertension is twice as high among African-Surinamese men, and nearly four times higher among African-Surinamese women than among White Dutch men and women [ 5].
For example, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes among children age 2 to 12 equals the number of children age 2 to 12 years with type 2 diabetes divided by the total number of children within that age range.
For example, the prevalence of split-shift jobs is larger in smaller companies (INSHT 2011).
For example, the prevalence of melanomas and cancers of the brain and prostate is rising, while cancer of the stomach is falling.
For example, the prevalence of vancomycin resistant Enterococcus infections in Chinese hospitals went from 0% in 2005 to 4.9% in 2010, which is still relatively low, compared to the 18.9% prevalence rate found hospitals in Taiwan (Kang and Song 2013).
For example, the prevalence of burglary per 1000 households is between four and eight times higher in the 10%% highest crime risk areas when compared to the 10%% safest areas of England and Wales (Kershaw and Tseloni 2005).
These networks allow a picture to be drawn of diseases widespread in the general population, usually not leading to hospitalisation, and estimating trends in, for example, the prevalence of diabetes.
For example, the prevalence of cigarette smoking in the adult population has decreased from 42% in 1965 to 16% in 2014.
For example, the prevalence of GC is approximately 3% in H. pylori-positive patients [52].
For example, the prevalence of diabetes in men aged 65 74 years increased from 8.7% in 1981 to 14.6% in 2006.
