"now for the same question if we want to calculate the incidence rate
(per person-years) what will be the answer??"

This is incidence.

There are a couple of Epi-oriented packages for R, amongst which are:

Epi
epitools

I think in this case we dont need to have calculate the person years as it
is the prevalence not incidence. Here we take total cases out of total
population at the beginning of the study. Unless, untill specified we cant
take person years into consideration. so answer 0.1045 is correct.

Hi Grace,

We don't have much to go on here. I would suggest you consult with your
professor or tutor for a more thorough explanation of what the assignment is
asking.

Thanks,

This is my assignment and I'm a little bit confused!

dipluvnof...@gmail.com (GraceonSunnycoast) — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 21:45:56 UT

In Life Table ,what does Mx ( Central Death rate) mean ?
(b) and (c) ask different things? or not?

(b) What is the conditional life expectancy (years to live) for those
who reach 25 years of age? [2 marks]

Person-Years

letrun...@hotmail.com (lisa) — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 10:34:57 UT

I am taking an epi class(first time ever) and am confused. How can
person-years be used to derive the SMR.

Re: incidence

oso...@gmail.com (eric) — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 16:59:50 UT

hi,
when not stated you assume the new cases occured at mid yea . in this
instance the new cases will contribute 45*0.5=22.5 person years free
from disease
The total person-years(denominator) will be 9000-22.5=8977.5
the incidence will therefore be 45/8977.5 person years

Re: incidence

mca...@yahoo.com (mcap) — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 16:06:04 UT

As stated before, you must first subtract the 1000 prevalent cases.
That works out to 5 cases per 1,000 person years

Hi,

We can calculate incidence rate = new case/population

the population refers to 10000-1000 = 9000 -->population non-DM

person-times= number of population*period of time to follow up

if u follow up 1 year of 9000 people, person-years=9000*1 or
person-months=9000*12

Thus, Incidence rate = 45/9000 = 0.005 person-years or 5 cases per 1,000
