Morbidity vs Mortality

Morbidity: disease within a population
Mortality: deaths due to a disease divided total population

Incidence

measures the rate of occurrence of new cases of a disease or condition. Incidence is the number of instances of a factor (disease, injury, health status, etc) during a given period (day, month, year, decade) in a specified population (age group, community, country, etc).

Biostatistics data includes

Quantitative - numbers, percents, raw data
Qualitative - data obtained from first-hand observation, interviews, questionnaires, focus groups, participant-observation, recordings made in natural settings, documents, and artifacts. The data are generally nonnumerical.
A risk ratio (RR), also called relative risk, compares the risk of a health event (disease, injury, risk factor, or death) among one group with the risk among another group. It does so by dividing the risk (incidence proportion, attack rate) in group 1 by the risk (incidence proportion, attack rate) in group 2.

Prevalence

refers to the proportion of persons who have a condition at or during a particular time period. Prevalence is the total number (new and existing) of instances of a factor (disease, injury, health status, etc) at a specific period (day, month, year) in a specified population (age group, community, country, etc)

Case-fatality

The proportion of deaths from a certain disease compared to the total number of people diagnosed with the disease for a particular period. Deaths from disease X over All cases of disease X
Deaths/People with disease
