Q6 endemic
A ongoing, usual level of, or constant presence of a disease in a given population or specific
geographic region
Q7 endemic geographic scale
A confined to a particular region of community

Question & Answer
Q14 pandemic
A an epidemic that has grown masively and spread across the globe
Q15 pandemic geographic scale

Q16 pandemic predictibility
A disruption is widespread, with sustained community transmission worldwide

Q18 biostatistics
A - morbidity - mortality - prevalence - incidence - attack rate -infant mortality rate - maternal
mortality rate
Q19 morbidity
A state of being unhealthy for a particular disease or situation within a population
Q20 morbidity example
A diagnosis of asthma or diabetes
Q21 mortality
A occurence of death in a given population
Q22 mortality example
A CDC: 683,491 people die from heart disease in a given year in the US
Q23 incidence
A number of new cases of a disease in a specific time period divided by the population risk
Q24 incidence example
A 50 new cases of the flu in a community of 1,000 people = incidence number is 50
Q25 prevalance
A total number of existing cases (new and old) in a population at a specific point or period in time
Q26 prevalance example
A in a town of 1,000 people, 150 people had flu and now 50 more cases = prevalence is 200
