The picture New: Cases of Illness from October 1, 2004–September 30, 2005 Question: Calculate the incidence rate from October 1, 2004, to September 30, 2005, using the midpoint population (population alive on April 1, 2005) as the denominator. Express the rate per 100 population.
1. The leading cause of death worldwide is 2000 is due to 1) none 2) congenital disease 3) lifestyle risk factors 4) communicable disease 2. To differentiate incidence from prevalence: 1) whether the event is a new case ; time of onset of the disease 2) presence or absence of a disease ; time period is arbitrary ; rather a snapshot in time 3) number of new cases of disease during a specified period od time/population at risk 4) useful in the study of burden of chronic diseases and implications for health services

Clinical decisions are made about individual patients; epidemiological decisions are made about populations. The goal of epidemiology is to measurably identify the determinants of illness or disease in a target population. Consider how information on health determinants, types of data, frequency, distribution, & variation of data, as well as other factors, can contribute to the process of health outcomes.
