# of new cases of a specified disease in a population / population at risk for getting the disease
What is the difference between disease incidence and disease severity?
The incidence of disease is how frequent or widespread a disease is in the population. Severity is how bad and serious any particular disease is in a person.
What is the formula of incidence rate?
# of new cases of a specified disease in a population / population at risk for getting the disease
What incidence rate and prevalence rate?
prevalencerefers to the number of cases of disease thatexistsin a population and the incidence refers to the number of new cases of diseaseoccurringin a population.
Ongoing presence of a disease within a population?
endemic refers to the ongoing presence of a disease within a population, group , or area ( en- means within, dem means population, and -ic means pertaining to) For example, the common cold is endemic because it is always present within the general population

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.

What is the incidence of gastrointestinal disease?

What is an age standardized rate?
An age standardized rate is, in the field of medicine, the incidence rate of a particular disease in a population assuming the population has a standard age structure.
