Common measures used in epidemiology to study heart health include:
Prevalence: The proportion of individuals with heart disease at a given time. Incidence: The rate at which new cases of heart disease occur in a population. Mortality rate: The rate of death due to heart disease in a population. Relative risk: The risk of heart disease in an exposed group compared to a non-exposed group. Attributable risk: The difference in risk between exposed and non-exposed groups, which can be attributed to the exposure.
