N.B.

#1Number of expected cases depending on 2013 rates of incidence.

#2Number of increased cases from 2013 number of cases.

#3Number of increased cases (from 2013) that is attributed to increase in population number (population growth).

#4Number of increased cases (from 2013) that is attributed to change in population structure (aging of population) and not to population growth.

#5Percent of increased number of cases (from 2013) that can be attributed to population growth only (not due to change in population structure).
