Infant mortality Rate, Child mortality rate, Under five moortality rate, Maternal mortality

divided by the number of people at the point in time. - ANSWER-Prevalence proportion
Prevalence can be calculated by - ANSWER-P=Number of existing disease at particular

disease of interest within a specified period of time (cohort study) - ANSWER-Incidence
measures
2 types of incidence measures - ANSWER-1. Cumulative incidence / incidence
proportion
2. Incidence density / incidence rate
Applicable when some cohort members are lost to follow-up - ANSWER-Incidence
density rate
A group of people who share a common defining characteristic. - ANSWER-Cohort
, Measures the average instantaneous rate of disease occurrence - ANSWER-Incidence
density rate
Incidence rate can be calculated by: - ANSWER-ID= number of new cases that develop
during the period/ sum of person-time at risk X F
Show disease rates in specific population groups by age, sex, occupation, education,
exposure to
risk factors, place of residence, or combinations of these factors. Can also be computed
specifically by seasons of the year - ANSWER-Specific Morbidity rate
Answers the epidemiologic questions: "Who is affected? "Where do they occur?" "When
do they occur or increase?" - ANSWER-Specific morbidity rates
Provide important information on the health status of the community because death is
the most serious outcome of a morbid episode - ANSWER-Mortality rate
Indicate the most
life-threatening diseases - ANSWER-Pattern of causes of death
Sometimes called force
of mortality is defined as the rate at which mortality occurs in a given population -
ANSWER-Crude death rate (CDR)
Crude death rate can be calculated by: - ANSWER-CDR=Number of deaths in a
calendar year/ midyear population X 1000
Gives the rate of dying due to specific causes. Identifies the leading causes of mortality
- ANSWER-Cause of death rate
Cause of death rate can be calculated by - ANSWER-cause of death rate = Number of
death from a certain cause in a calendar year/ midyear population X F
It is linked to better health, the greater the gap between the richest and the poor, the
greater differences in health. - ANSWER-Income and Social Status

Education
Safe water and clean air, healthy workplaces, safe houses communities and roads all
