Several factors can affect infection prevalence in a population:
Population Density: Higher population density can facilitate the spread of infectious diseases, leading to higher prevalence rates. Healthcare Access: Limited access to healthcare services can result in underdiagnosis and underreporting of infections, affecting prevalence estimates. Behavioral Factors: Practices such as poor hygiene and low vaccination rates can increase the prevalence of infectious diseases. Environmental Conditions: Factors like climate and sanitation can influence the transmission and prevalence of infections.
