A disease has 3 time more incidence in females as compared to males, with same prevalence in both males and females. TRUE statement is - AIIMS 99
ref: Park&;s 23rd edition pg 61 Here, incidence in females is 3times that of males. So, we expect such an increase in prevalence of that same disease in females. But, it is given, prevalence in males and females are the same. This means that the affected females donot survive as much as the affected males. This shows that disease has increased fatality in females. note: Prognosis depends on prevalence. As prevaleance is same, prognosis is also same in both. Incidence reflects the causal factors
Increase fatality in women
More survival in women
Better prognosis in men
Less fatality in man
