Incidence and Mortality
rate Incidence rate and mortality rate are two measures used to evaluate the impact of a health condition on a population. Incidence rate is the number of new cases of a certain health condition during a given period of time, usually per 100,000 individuals in that population. Mortality rate is the number of deaths due to a certain health condition within a given period of time, usually per 100,000 individuals in that population. Together, these measures provide a better understanding of the impact of a health condition on a population and can be used to inform public health decisions and interventions.
