Taken as a whole, the surveys show that in some countries, such as Kenya, the practice has declined, while in others it has not and that in countries where it is most prevalent, lower proportions of women and girls think it should stop.
Population attributable prevalence fractions (the proportion of prevalent needs for care that might have been avoided had the condition been prevented) were for dementia 0.44, for physical illness 0.43 (stroke 0.16, three or more physical illnesses 0.27) and depression 0.16.
That is, jobs that require a college education have been becoming more prevalent as a proportion of employment for years now.
However, where under-treated HIV is prevalent, an increased proportion of both indeterminate and false-negative QGIT results can be expected in patients with active TB.
Needle-stick injury is the most prevalent in a proportion of about 50%.
Among all the HPV genotypes, HPV 16 is the most prevalent, with a proportion of 65.2% of all genotypes in cervical cancer (Hong et al, 2008).
A number of studies in countries such as Indonesia [ 14] have shown that musculoskeletal disorders are quite prevalent with a proportion of the population affected ranging from 14 to 42%.
In Laredo, evaporative coolers (a low-technology air-conditioning device that cools and humidifies air by drawing it from outdoors through a continually wetted screen) were less prevalent, a greater proportion of houses had intact screens, the average distance between houses was greater, and fewer persons lived in each house (Table 2).
The total number of TB cases diagnosed was calculated from the number of subjects screened, the TB prevalence among them, the proportion of prevalent TB cases diagnosed with a given set of diagnostic procedures (proportional yield) and the dropout rate.
