Contrary to the idea that the 20th century developed countries have been able to decrease the morbidity rate effectively - extrapolated largely from the declining death rate - in actuality the morbidity rate and the mortality rate in the developed nations seemed to have moved in opposite directions.
That is, as mortality rate declined in the 20th century for developed nations, morbidity rate increased, rather than decreased.
This would indicate that the morbidity rate cannot be simply deduced directly from the mortality rate.

Although numerous studies have reported a low surgical risk rate in the treatment of incidental aneurysms, the rates of surgical procedural morbidity and mortality may be influenced by specific factors such as aneurysm location and size, and by patient age and poor medical condition.
The combined morbidity and mortality rate for unruptured aneurysms was 0% for aneurysms less than 10 mm in size, 6% for aneurysms between 10 mm and 25 mm, and 20% for aneurysms greater than 25 mm.
Unlike the outcome rates for surgical intervention, GDC embolization of aneurysms in the posterior fossa did not have an increased morbidity/mortality rate (morbidity rate 3%).

The national prevalence rates for `all mental disorders' arrived at are 70.5 (rural), 73 (urban) and 73 (rural + urban) per 1000 population.
Urban morbidity in India is 3.5 percent higher than the rural rate, but rural-urban differences are not consistent for different disease categories.
In view of these observations, it is felt that the national rate of 73/1000 for `all mental disorders' arrived at in the present analysis is not to be constructed as inordinately high.

 359EPIDEMIOLOGY
Prevalence rate is not an estimate of the risk of developing disease because it is a function of both the rate at which new cases of the disease develop and how long those cases last.
Morbidity statistics are difficult to evaluate because there is no comprehensive surveillance system that monitors the incidence of all conditions contributing to morbidity.
Incidence rates are useful in determining disease etiology, since incidence is affected only by factors related to the risk of developing disease and not to survival or cure.
