Several measures are crucial in epidemiology for understanding disease dynamics: 1. Incidence: The number of new cases of a disease that occur in a specific population during a defined period. 2. Prevalence: The total number of existing cases of a disease in a population at a given time. 3. Mortality Rate: The number of deaths caused by a disease in a population over a specific period. 4. Case Fatality Rate: The proportion of individuals with a particular disease who die from that disease.
