Epidemiologists use various metrics to measure the burden of disease, including:
Incidence: The number of new cases of a disease within a specified period. Prevalence: The total number of existing cases of a disease at a given time. Mortality Rates: The number of deaths due to a specific disease within a population. Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs): A measure that combines the burden of mortality and morbidity into a single metric.
