Introduction to Epidemiology (401076) Assignment 1

This document provides a comprehensive study on epidemiology. It covers topics such as prevalence, incidence, mortality rates, and study designs. The document also includes case studies and research questions.

Disease and Disorders

Epidemiology Study

In this assignment we will discuss about questions and below are the summaries point:-


	
	The study follows five people over 20 years to measure the occurrence of upper respiratory tract infections. Incidence rate is used as a measure of disease occurrence.
	
	
	The calculated incidence rate is 0.0305343 per person-year at risk.
	
	
	The attack rate among attendees of a social event was 8.5/100, indicating the proportion of attendees who became ill with salmonella enterocolitis.
	
	
	To compare the risk of Disease A in males vs. females, category-specific rates should be used as they allow for the assessment of occurrence within specific cohorts or groups.
	
	
	Prevalence of a disease decreases when there is a negative change in the number of new cases, including cure, death, loss to follow-up, and deaths due to other diseases.
	
	
	The crude mortality rate for the city with 100,000 people was 1,000 per 100,000.
	
	
	The inference that driving a blue car increases the risk of accidents compared to other car colors is incorrect.
	
	
	Community A has the lowest case fatality rate for plague at 66.7%.
	
	
	The incidence rate is higher in women than men, but the prevalence rates show no sex difference, suggesting that the mortality rate is higher in women.
