Values are percentages unless stated otherwise; prevalence—the disease is present at the start of that age group or at database entry; individuals that contribute follow-up time to multiple age groups are included in all age groups they contribute to; acalculated by dividing the total number of deceased individuals by the total number of person-years (PY) follow-up per 1000 in that specific age group.
