What are the Key Metrics in Epidemiology?

Several key metrics are used to quantify health data:
- Incidence and Prevalence measure the occurrence of diseases within a population over a specified period.
- Mortality rates indicate the frequency of deaths in a population.
- Risk Ratios (RR) and Odds Ratios (OR) compare the risk of a certain event occurring in different groups.
- Attributable Risk quantifies the contribution of a specific factor to the overall risk of a disease.
- Years of Potential Life Lost (YPLL) measures the impact of premature death.
