point prevalence

How is Point Prevalence Calculated?

Point prevalence is calculated using the formula:
Point Prevalence = (Number of existing cases at a specific point in time / Population at risk at the same point in time) x 100
For example, if there are 50 cases of a disease in a population of 1,000 at a given point in time, the point prevalence would be (50/1000) x 100 = 5%.
