Prevalence is applied to the whole of the disease area (actually in
depression there are two separate prevalence calculations for screening
and the PHQ9 stuff).
The prevalence is always based on the disease register. Even if there is
not a separate indicator for having a disease register one will still exist.
In cancer the disease register is Cancer 1 and this prevalence is
applied to Cancer 3.
