Question

Expected prevalence of a disease is:______.

Answer 1

Answer: c) the anticipated geographical spread of a disease based on past observances.

Explanation: Prevalence simply means the widespread of a thing or condition. In epidemiology, prevalence can be defined as the total number of people in a population that is affected by a medical condition or total number of cases of a disease in a population in a given period of time.

Expected prevalence of a disease is therefore the anticipated widespread of a disease or the anticipated total number of cases of a disease in a population based on past observed incidences.
