Lower prevalences ranging from 11.5% to14.7% were reported in other Middle Eastern countries [ 7, 22, 23].
EOD is more difficult to recognize than late onset dementia (LOD) in the early stages of the disease because of the lower prevalence rate, the wider range of etiologies [ 6, 7] and the use of other mental health services (e.g., community mental health teams).
As in the case of estimating transmission endpoints [5], this result highlights the need for generating standardized regional data over the full range observed in the field (but especially over the lower mf prevalence range) if these more pertinent regional figures are to be reliably estimated.
have a lower prevalence rate (1.1%); older groups (55 64 yrs).
However, the methodological deficiencies of these studies translated to poorer study quality scores and much lower PAD prevalence ranges of 0.01 0.5%.
With the exception of one outlier (50.6 %; [ 15]), the remaining large studies that were conducted in Western countries tended to report lower prevalence of depression (range 2.3 to 40%%).
However, other studies demonstrated a lower prevalence of T. vaginalis infection ranging from 2.1%- 3.68%.
There was a trend between higher geographical latitude and lower prevalence of pterygium beside areas located in the latitude range of 20 30°.
Other studies of Indian children have shown prevalence ranging from 13 to 68%% [ 29] with lower prevalence reported from urban areas.
Seeing these patients come in on stretchers (as well as having closer access to medical professionals and just a wider range of contacts outside their family) could explain the far lower prevalence of obesity in Mauritania's urban areas.
Despite its lower prevalence, MIBC is typically associated with a relatively poor prognosis (5-year survival ranging from 30 to 70%%).
