See issue #198 for a potentially relevant limitation that we might mention in the limitations of the report, or adjust for ,sometime in the future.

When extrapolating German or Dutch CMV/EBV estimates for Denmark, we need to think about the share of foreign-born in the extrapolated estimate and in the target location. E.g., foreign-born individuals have markedly higher CMV seroprevalence; if Copenhagen has large non-Western populations, seroprevalence there could thus be higher than in the general population of Germany or the Netherlands.
