Both cohorts had the same prevalence rates of diabetes mellitus (13.0%), hypertension (16.1%), or both (5.4%).
Including the 108 ungradable subjects, and assuming these have the same prevalence rates within age groups as the gradable subjects, leads to some changes in AMD sample numbers within each age group, but also to changes in weights.
We found the same prevalence rates of SUD measured by the ICD-10 diagnoses, the HoNOS, the AUS and the DUS between 2002 and 2007, hence we concluded there was consistency in how these instruments were used between these years [ 15].
As the debate about the nomenclature of NSSI especially with regards to suicidal intent is ongoing, it is surprising, that both studies, that have used an NSSI nomenclature, as well as studies, that used a definition of Deliberate Self Harm (without explicitly excluding conscious suicidal intent), nearly showed the same prevalence rates.
We first note that while distinct communities may have the same prevalence, their respective incidence rates may be different, hence the incidence rate alone is not a good measure of scabies burden.
The twins can be regarded as representative of the general population since they have previously been shown to have the same mortality rate [ 9] and the same prevalence of various diseases as the population at large, e.g. insulin dependent diabetes [ 10], hand eczema [ 11], asthma and allergic rhinitis [ 12], and LBP [ 13].

After stratifying by gender, behavioral conditions were still more likely to be reported in the questionnaires except for history of tattoos in the female, which had the same reported prevalence rates in both questionnaire and medical record (Table 2).
For the same reason, prevalence rates of mental disorders in prison are available only from a small minority of countries.
