Rate:
mathematical and statistical methods
to assess risk
• Morbidity (from Latin morbidus, meaning

Measures of Disease Frequency
Prevalence Rate
Incidence rate
Types of Fractions
Used in Describing
Disease Frequency
• Ratio- A fraction in which…..
the numerator is not part of the denominator.
e.g. Males & Female Ratio in the class
• Proportion- A fraction in which…..
the numerator is part of the denominator.
e.g. Fetal Death in the community: Fetal deaths/all
births
• Rate- A proportion in which…..
change over time is considered
e.g. Infant Mortality Rate: Infant deaths/live births
(17/1000 live births)
Prevalence rate
1. Point prevalence rate
Proportion of individuals in a specified
population at risk who have the disease
of Interest at a given point in time.
(when the type of prevalence rate is not
specified it is usually point prevalence)
2. Period prevalence rate
• Proportion of individuals in a specified
population at risk who have the disease
of interest over a specified period of
time.
• For example: annual prevalence rate,
lifetime prevalence rate.
Incidence rate
1. Cumulative incidence rate
Number of new cases of disease
occurring over a specified period
of time in a population at risk at
the beginning of the interval.
2. Incidence density
Number of new cases of disease
occurring over a specified period
of time in a population at risk
throughout the interval.
