How do you calculate average duration in epidemiology?
P/1-P where 1-P is the prevalence odds. This is true for prevalence values that are bigger. Prevalence=Incidence rate x Duration (true for small prevalences)
When will the incidence and prevalence of a disease be equal?
The incidence will equal the prevalence when the duration of the disease is equal to the time period over which the incidence is measured.
The incidence of a disease in a population is called what?
onset /prevalence/
What is the difference between incidence and prevalence?
Incidence is number of new cases diagnosed prevalence is the the burden of disease that is new cases plus old cases
What disease in the UK have high incidence but low prevalence?
measles
Is the prevalence rate about twenty-five persent for both genders?
In epidemiology, the prevalence rate is the proportion of a population found to have a condition. For example people who smoke or are over weight. To give the percentage of prevalence it is required to know what condition we need to examine.
What is the prevalence of drug induced myopathy?

What incidence rate and prevalence rate?

What is the incidence of cerebral palsy in the UK?
The incidence rate for cerebral palsy in the UK is rare. According to the statistics there is a mean annual prevalence of 2 per every 1000 live births.
What it cumulative incidence rate?
Cumulative incidence is a measure of frequency, as in epidemiology where it is a measure of disease frequency during a period of time. Cumulative incidence is the incidence calculated using a period of time during which all of the individuals in the population are considered to be at risk for the outcome. It is sometimes referred to as the incidence proportion or the attack rate. Cumulative incidence is calculated by the number of new cases during a period divided by the number of people at risk in the population at the beginning of the study.
