incidenshastigheter
Incidenshastigheter, or incidence rates, are a fundamental concept in epidemiology and public health. They measure the frequency of new cases of a disease or health condition occurring in a specific population over a defined period of time. This rate is typically expressed as the number of new cases per unit of population at risk. For instance, an incidence rate might be reported as 10 new cases per 1,000 people per year.
The calculation of incidence rates involves identifying the number of new events (e.g., diagnoses of a disease)
