Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992.
Was there a breast cancer epidemic?!
NO.
Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976.
PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something.
This is also about autism.

the really disheartening thing about the prevalence of scams is that instead of talking about it like a public policy problem, we all act like it’s on every grandma to stay vigilant

I keep seeing people arguing about autism prevalence estimates saying they’ve “adjusted for all confounders” but a *prevalence estimate* can’t be confounded.
Confounding is for *effect* measures, not *occurrence* measures.
Don’t get me wrong, prevalence estimates can be *biased* but not like that.

Coevolution of cooperative lifestyles and reduced cancer prevalence in mammals
While cooperative mammals evolve reducing cancer prevalence, oncogenes can be maintained by selection in competitive species.

Members of neither the legislative nor the executive branch had a financial stake in the prevalence of heavy metal music.
We had congressional hearings when parents just suspected heavy metal was leading some kids to suicide.
i don’t see how any of the benefits of chatgpt and other consumer-facing LLMs can possibly outweigh their incredible ability to induce suicides

Prevalence: TOTAL population living with a condition at any time. It includes everyone previously AND newly diagnosed.
If prevalence increases, it CAN reflect more incidence, but also new ability to diagnose, changes in diagnostic criteria, or a combination of these.

French scientists studying H5N1 bird flu prevalence in cats found 13 out of 578 blood samples positive.
"Potentially, it amounts to thousands or tens of thousands of cats that could have been infected in France."

It's growing prevalence? You meant like decades of no diagnosis and then decades of misdiagnosis. The prevalence is because psychiatrists know what to look for now. This article is fucking stupid
