Unit 19 Epidemiology
Incidence – заболеваемость (число новых случаев заболевания за определенный период времени)
Prevalence – распространенность
Rates
The study of the spread and control of diseases in the community (epidemiology) requires analysis of frequency - the number of times something occurs in a particular period. We talk about frequency using word combinations with rate:
-
birth
death (mortality)
case fatality
survival
rate
= the number of births in a population (group of people)
= the number of deaths in a population
= the number of deaths from a particular disease
= the number of patients still alive after treatment for a particular disease
The birth rate in Singapore is 10.2 per 1,000 population
The infant mortality rate in Singapore is 3.0 per 1,000 live births.
Other words used to talk about frequency:
-
Malaria is
common
in many developing countries.
Uncommon
rare
in developed countries.
