Incidence Rate

#Biology

$\displaystyle i=\frac{c_{t}}{P_{t}}$

  • $\displaystyle i$ is the incidence rate
  • $\displaystyle c_{t}$ is the total number of new cases in a certain timeframe
  • $\displaystyle P_{t}$ is the population who could acquire the disease (so excluding those who already have it)
