 AB    The estimation of the incidence of chronic diseases from mortality and
       survival rates is shown to be attainable, under some simplifying
       hypotheses, through the solution of a convolution equation. Exact
       solutions are derived for the cases in which survival times of incident
       cases are exponential or gamma distributed. Applications to breast
       cancer, HIV infection and stomach cancer incidence in the Italian
       population are presented.
