How is the prevalence of a condition or disease calculated in a population?
It is the number of affected persons divided by the number of all persons in that population in a given time.
It is the number of people newly diagnosed within a time period divided by the total number of people at risk for the disease during the same time period.
The denominator must contain people who are at risk for developing the disease or condition.
It is the number of people newly diagnosed within a time period divided by the total number of people at risk for the disease during the same time period.

Determine how to calculate the mortality rate of a specific population.
Mortality rate is established by dividing the number of deaths from that particular disease or condition by the total population of the world and then multiplying that number by 1,000to get the rate per 100.
Mortality is the ratio of deaths per 1,000:births per 1,000.
Mortality rate is established by multiplying the number of deaths from that particular disease or condition by the total population of the world and then multiplying that number by 1,000to get the rate per 100.
