What are Common Measures Used in Descriptive Data?
Several measures are commonly used in descriptive epidemiology to quantify health events:
Incidence Rate: The number of new cases of a disease in a specific population during a defined time period. Prevalence: The total number of cases of a disease in a population at a given time. Mortality Rate: The number of deaths in a population during a specific time period. Case Fatality Rate: The proportion of individuals diagnosed with a disease who die from it within a specified time period.
