Table 1b.

Population 2005 2030 2050
Prevalence in population >50 years 2.29 2.53 2.87
Prevalence in total population 0.86 1.26 1.60

To calculate population based prevalence values, we assumed the prevalence in people younger than 50 to be zero because reliable epidemiological values are lacking and the formula from (2) is not suitable.
