===Lifetime prevalence=== '''Lifetime prevalence'''<!--Redirects here, bolded per MOS:BOLD--> ('''LTP''') is the proportion of individuals in a population that at some point in their life (up to the time of assessment) have experienced a "case" (e.g., a disease, a traumatic event, or, a behavior, such as committing a crime). Often, a 12-month prevalence (or some other type of "period prevalence") is provided in conjunction with lifetime prevalence. ''Point prevalence'' is the prevalence of disorder at a specific point in time (a month or less). ''Lifetime morbid risk'' is "the proportion of a population that might become afflicted with a given disease at any point in their lifetime."<ref name="Rothman2012">{{cite book|author=Kenneth J.
