Incidence[edit] The terms incidence, and prevalence are closely connected when explaining the epidemiology of childhood obesity, but they are different. The term incidence refers to newly identified occurrences of the disease, versus prevalence, which is the number of children who currently have the disease.[1] With respect to the incidence of childhood obesity, more needs to be understood. [2] The importance of identifying the incidence of age-related onset of obesity, is vital to intervening before the effects of obesity can take effect, especially as obesity carries into adulthood.
