A

Incidence Proportion

45

A

Incidence Proportion

46
Q
  • Also called as Incidence Rate.
  • Describes how quickly disease occurs in a population.
  • The denominator is the sum of the time each person was observed, totaled for all persons. This denominator represents the total time the population was at risk of and being watched for disease. Thus, the incidence rate is the ratio of the number of cases to the total time the population is at risk of disease.

56
Q
  • Usual or expected frequency of disease
  • Ex. Malaria (endemic in Palawan not Manila because vectors = mosquitoes prefer stagnant water within which to lay their eggs), Tuberculosis
