Condom use among sex workers has reportedly fallen, the prevalence of STIs has slightly increased, and, for the first time in eight years, the number of sex workers attending a specialist NHS clinic has gone down by nearly 10 percent with no corresponding evidence to suggest that the number of women selling sex has been reduced.

As the price of alcoholic beverages fell, the prevalence of drinking rose.
Although the positive predictive value for both cancer and adenomas fell between the prevalence screen and the first incidence screen, they did not fall between the first and second incidence screens.
The prevalence of tension-type headache, in this study, falls within the prevalence range previously reported from studies conducted in the Middle East area (11 39%) [29, 35, 38, 39].
It is likely that falling dictates the prevalence of hip fracture, while the bone strength dictates who is more likely to fracture and the nature of the fracture that occurs.
It is concerning that although the MTCT rates have fallen dramatically, the prevalence of drug resistance in the group of vertically infected infants in New York state increased 58% between 1998 and 2002 (Foster et al., 2006; Karchava et al., 2006).
In addition, there were falls in the prevalence of scores of ≥8 on both HADS component scales (for anxiety, from 24.4 to 18.0%; for depression, from 20.5 to 15.5%) and a fall in the prevalence of subjects with PAID scores of ≥40 (from 20.5 to 9.9%).
The number of people in Europe with dementia, for example, is currently about 7.7 million and may double by 2050 (Radbruch & Payne, 2009), although the incidence may be falling and the prevalence in the older population may be closer to 6.5% than to the 8.3% sometimes quoted (Matthews et al., 2013).
Ongoing research indicates that countries with either regulated or legalized sex work have seen substantial falls in the prevalence of STIs in sex workers, as a result of governments' initiatives for wide-spread condom programs and promotion of HIV testing and treatment [ 59, 60].
