- also depends on the environmental conditions existing at the time of exposure
describe the occurrence of new cases of a disease or condition in a community
over a period of time relative to the size of the population at risk for that
Incidence Rate
disease or condition during that same time period. ex) detecting short term
chances in acute diseases like the flu
the number of all cases of a specific disease or condition in a population at
Prevalence Rate a given point in time relative to the population at the same point in time.
Increase of incidence rate increase prevalence rate.
Endemic Diseases that are always present in a population (e.g., colds and pneumonia)
Diseases that are not always present in a population but flare up on occasion (e.g.,
Epidemic
diphtheria and measles)
The existence of disease in a large proportion of the population: a global
Pandemic epidemic (e.g., human immunodeficiency virus, acquired immunodeficiency
syndrome, and annual outbreaks of influenza type A)
Chronic vs Acute (prevalence) chronic always has a higher prevalence than acute disease
- natural contact with antibody
- hep a --) immunoglobin
Passive Immunity - through blood or plasma
EXAMPLE: Infant born with temporary antibodies to measles. Temporary or
through colostrum and breast milk
- Natural contact and infection with the antigen
Active-natural Immunity
- acquiring measles
- smoking
Leading Cause of Preventable Death - alcohol
- lifestyle choices
those not immune to an infectious agent are protected if a certain proportion of
Herd Immunity
the population has been vaccinated or is otherwise immune
