incidence density

What are the Limitations of Incidence Density?

While incidence density provides a detailed understanding of disease occurrence, it has some limitations:
Requires accurate tracking of person-time, which can be resource-intensive.
May not be suitable for diseases with long latency periods where the onset of symptoms is delayed.
Complex to calculate in large, heterogeneous populations.
Despite these challenges, incidence density remains a valuable tool for epidemiologists seeking to measure and understand disease dynamics.
