Does "75 assessed prevalence, 13 incidence, and nine mortality" mean "75 assessed prevalence, 13 assessed incidence, and nine assessed mortality"?

Context:

Findings
Our search returned 12 642 reports, of which 89 met the inclusion criteria (75 assessed prevalence, 13 incidence, and nine mortality). In total, the included studies had 340 247 participants, in which 6357 cases of Alzheimer's disease were recorded. 254 367 people were assessed for other forms of dementia, of whom 3543 had vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia, or Lewy body dementia. In 1990 the prevalence of all forms of dementia was 1·8% (95% CI 0·0—44·4) at 65—69 years, and 42·1% (0·0—88·9) at age 95—99 years. In 2010 prevalence was 2·6% (0·0—28·2) at age 65—69 years and 60·5% (39·7—81·3) at age 95—99 years. The number of people with dementia in China was 3·68 million (95% CI 2·22—5·14) in 1990, 5·62 million (4·42—6·82) in 2000, and 9·19 million (5·92—12·48) in 2010. In the same period, the number of people with Alzheimer's disease was 1·93 million (1·15—2·71) in 1990, 3·71 million (2·84—4·58) people in 2000, and 5·69 million (3·85—7·53) in 2010. The incidence of dementia was 9·87 cases per 1000 person-years, that of Alzheimer's disease was 6·25 cases per 1000 person-years, that of vascular dementia was 2·42 cases per 1000 person-years, and that of other rare forms of dementia was 0·46 cases per 1000 person-years. We retrieved mortality data for 1032 people with dementia and 20 157 healthy controls, who were followed up for 3—7 years. The median standardised mortality ratio was 1·94:1 (IQR 1·74—2·45).

There is probably a troublemaker in A2K who's addicted to vote people down like a ghost. Wink

Yes. The word 'assessed' is used in the first clause and implied in the remaining two. Thus clumsy repetition is avoided.
