What are biostatistics? - Answer looks at variations in data between humans; helps us study health and
wellness
How are demography and biostatistics significant in epidemiology? - Answer - helps us to understand
epidemiology (incidence, distribution, and possible control) of diseases in various populations
- if we can see trends in demography, biostatistics, mortality, and life expectancy this can help us to
better determine health inequities and what we can do to provide equitable care on a population level
where do we get demographic data? - Answer census, community level data, national surveys
what variables are considered demographic data? - Answer age, gender, and ethnicity
what are the three CONSTANTS of the epidemiological triangle? - Answer person (demographics), place

- helps us to predict when/where/severity of a communicable disease so we can stop the disease
process and protect more people
What is genomics? ethical dilemmas? - Answer - looking at the genetic epidemiology of diseases AKA
genes that affect if someone does or doesn't develop a disease
- protection against discrimination may be difficult
What is infectivity? - Answer how easily an organism causes disease
What is the difference between infectivity and virulence? - Answer infectivity is how easy people catch
the disease, virulence is how sick it makes the person
ex: colds have high infectivity but low virulence
What is the secondary attack/response rate? - Answer number of new cases among contacts of new
cases divided by total number of population at risk
ex: if four people at a retirement center tested positive for covid after being exposed to a confirmed
covid positive visitor and we divided it by the total number of people in the retirement center unit
without the covid vaccine (50) we would get the secondary attack rate of 8%
What is the disease prevalence? how is it calculated? - Answer - number of accumulated cases of a
disease including new and pre-existing at one time
- number of existing cases divided by the total people in a population
ex: 200 students at ABC college out of the total 600 students reported having anxiety at some point since
beginning college (200/600)= 33% prevalence rate of anxiety in students at ABC college
What is the incidence of a disease? - Answer number of NEW cases of a disease at a specific time or
period of time divided by the total number at risk during that time
example: 10 students at ABC college out of the total 600 students tested positive for the flu in the past
three days (10/600)= 1.7% incidence rate
