Which factors can decrease an observed prevalence of a disease? [Choose the ONE best answer): A....
If D equals the number of deaths in 2009 and P equals the population at the midpoint of 2009 and A equals the number of persons aged 15-24, then the crude death rate per 100,000 population would be: A. (D/P) × 100,000 B. (A/P) × 100,000 C. (P/D) × 100,000 D. (P/A) X 100,000 The number of deaths due to a disease that occurs among persons who are afflicted with the condition is known as: A. Crude death rate B. ...
Disease occurrence can be measured as prevalence or incidence. Which measure is better suited for the evaluation of preventive programs? A) cumulative incidence B) prevalence C) A and C D) incidence rate E) A and B
Prevalence-incidence bias occurs: a The exposure is associated with a decrease in both the incidence and prevalence of disease b Most commonly in cross-sectional studies c The outcome has an influence on the duration of disease d The disease has long duration (this is wrong, dont choose it)
Prevalence and incidence-what does each one mean? How might they vary? What could influence the incidence and prevalence rates? Which one measures the burden of disease and which one is used to investigate causes/risk factors of disease?
1. Cross-sectional study can not measure Incidence risk Prevalence Seroprevalence 2. Which study you generally conduct if you are interested in studying the risk factors of diabetes in a population in an ethically and scientifically convincing way? Case-Control Cross-sectional study Experimental study Cohort study 3. Prevalence of disease in exposed is not different than the prevalence of exposure among diseased False True 4. Sero-prevalence study is also called Cross-sectional study Cohort study Experimental study Case reports 5. Which one of...

Antibody functions Pandemic Herd immunity Communicable disease Incidence Notifiable infectious disease Prodromal period Septic shock Endemic disease Prevalence Zoonoses Focal infection A. Agglutination, opsonization, neutralization B. Same epidemic in Asia, South America, Africa C. Protective effect from vaccinating many D. Can spread from host to host E. Number in population with specific disease/unit time; indicates spread of disease F. Healthcare worker must report G. Patient has mild, early symptoms H. Drop in blood...
Incidence and prevalence rates can also be used to compare the rates of disease across different settings (places), people, or time. We therefore need measures of comparison. The ratio of two measures of disease frequency is called the relative risk. The difference between two measures of disease frequency is called the risk difference, or rate difference. In some cases, it involves a measure in an exposed group (or groups) and a measure in an unexposed or comparison group. In other...
