When the evidence is restricted to prevalence data, the inferences are not sound because incidence, mortality and differential mortality are not taken into account. The aim of the paper is to demonstrate the use and sensitivity of a deterministic model based on the relationship between mortality, incidence and prevalence with the example of the chronic disease dementia.
