Burden of disease - correct answer ✔✔The occurrence of disability (morbidity) and death (mortality)

currently, and what happens once it occurs
distribution of disease - correct answer ✔✔how a disease is spread out in a population, often using
factors such as person, place, and time
group association - correct answer ✔✔is a hypothesis about the cause of a disease without having
information on specific individuals within the group
artifactual - correct answer ✔✔differences between populations or changes in a population over time
due to changes in interest in identifying the disease.
confounding variables - correct answer ✔✔relationships that do not exist at the individual level. This
makes group associations misleading
