The positive predictive value (PPV) varies with disease prevalence when interpreting results from diagnostic tests. PPV is the percent of positive test results that are true positives. As disease prevalence decreases, the percent of test results that are false positives increase.
That's interesting, but that has no impact on the likelihood that an individual gets a false positive, right?
