Several factors can influence the incidence and prevalence of diseases:
Incubation period: The time between exposure to the disease agent and the appearance of symptoms. Mortality and recovery rates: High mortality or recovery rates can decrease prevalence, while low mortality and chronic conditions can increase it. Interventions: Effective public health measures and medical treatments can reduce incidence and prevalence. Risk factors: Lifestyle, genetics, environment, and other risk factors can affect the likelihood of developing a disease.
