Makes use of various statistical tools to draw valuable inferences
on the health related issues
Calculating statistics helps us to:- Describe risk
- Make comparisons among communities and smaller
definable groups
- Identify high-risk groups
- Develop hypotheses about the cause(s) of disease

Continued Disease burden needs to be measured because of the following
reasons:
- Prioritizing actions in health and the environment
- Planning for preventive action
- Assessing performance of healthcare systems
- Comparing action and health gain
- Identifying high-risk populations
- Planning for future needs
- Setting priorities in health research

FINDINGS AND DISCUSSIONS
A)
- An expression of the frequency with which an event occurs in a defined
population during a specified time.
- Mathematically, expressed in the form of (x/y)*k
- Three types:
actual observed rates such as birth and death rates
actual observed rates due to specific causes
to compare the health status of two or more places
in terms of mortality

9/30
Crude Rate :
- Number of deaths (from all causes) per 1000 estimated
mid-year population in one year, in a given place. Calculated as:
CDR = Number of death during the year X 1000
Mid-year population
7/29/2019 Use of Statistics in Epidemiology
10/30
Continued
:
- Ratio of total live births to total population in a specified community
or area over a specified period of time.
- Birth rate often expressed as number of live births per 1,000 of the
population per year; also called natality.
- Calculated by following formula:
Total number of live birth during a year X 1000
Population at midyear or average population
7/29/2019 Use of Statistics in Epidemiology
11/30
Specific rates
- Number of death of child under one year age out of 1000 live birth
during a year in a given place.
- Calculated by following formula:
Number of death of child under one year age X 1000
Total live birth during the same year
7/29/2019 Use of Statistics in Epidemiology
12/30
Continued
:
- Proportion of death of children below 5 years of age in per 1000
population of children of same age
- Calculated as:
No. of children death of the age group 1 to 5 years in a year X 1000Total no. of children of the age group 1 to 5 years during the same year
7/29/2019 Use of Statistics in Epidemiology
13/30
Continued
- Number of death of pregnant and postnatal (42 days) mother due
to pregnancy related cause (not death by other cause i.e. accident,
injury etc) out of per 100000 live birth.
- Calculated by following formula:
Number of deaths of pregnant and postnatal mother X100000
Total live birth during the same year

Other Rates include:
Cause Specific Death Rate (CSDR)
Case Fatality Rate (CFR)
Age Specific Death Rate (ASDR) Still Birth Rate (SBR)
Perinatal mortality rate (PNMR)
Neonatal Mortality Rate (NNMR) Post Neonatal Mortality Rate (PNNMR)
Under Five Mortality Rate (U5MR)

- No. of new cases of a disease that occur during a specified time
period among the population, who are at the risk of developing the
disease.
- Calculated by following formula:
Total new cases of a disease that occur during sp. period of time X 100
Total population at risk during that period

16/30
Continued
- Form of incidence that measures the proportion of persons in a
population who experience an acute health event during a limited
period (e.g., during an outbreak).
- Two types of attack rate: Primary and Secondary
- Calculated as:
No. of new cases of a health problem during an outbreak X 100
Population size at the beginning of the period
7/29/2019 Use of Statistics in Epidemiology
17/30
Continued :
- Proportion of people in a population who have a particular disease at a
specified point in time, or over a specified period of time.
- Calculated as:
Numbers of existing or current cases X 100
Population at that time or average population
Two types of Prevalence rate
7/29/2019 Use of Statistics in Epidemiology
18/30
Continued :
- Total number of all current/existing cases (new and old) of a disease in the
defined population in one point of time.
- Calculated by cross-sectional survey as one time study.
:
- Total number of all current cases (new and old) of a disease during a defined
period of time in a specified population (i.e. annual prevalence).
- Less commonly used measure of prevalence and calculated by surveillance,
several time studies.

- Expression of the relationship between numerator and denominator.
- Mathematically, Ratio =X\Y *k
Where, X=no of events
Y=total no of events
- Measurement of association
Incidence in exposed group
Incidence in non-exposed groupOdds of cases exposed or AD/BC
Odds of control exposed

- It is a type of ratio in which the numerator is always included in
the denominator.
- Mathematically, it is expressed in the form of(x/x+y)*100.

- The mean (or average) is the most popular and well known measure of
central tendency. It can be used with both discrete and continuous data, although its
use is most often with continuous data.
The median is the middle score for a set of data that has been arranged in
order of magnitude. It divides the series into two equal parts. Median is the
positional average.
- The position of median in a series is such that 50% of the observation lies
above the median and another 50% lies below the median.

Measures of Dispersion
:
- Standard deviation is an improvement over mean deviation as a
major of dispersion and is used most commonly in statistical
analysis.
- A large standard deviation shows that the measurements of the
frequency distributions are widely spread whereas small standard
deviation means the observations are closely spread.

Hypothesis Testing
They are the procedures for making rational decisions about the reality
of effects.
Hypothesis may be defined simply as a statement about population
parameter. The hypothesis that there were no effects is called null hypothesis (Ho).
The Alternative hypothesis (H1), is a statement of what a statistical
hypothesis is set up to establish.
Statistical hypothesis testing is used to determine whether an experimentconducted provides enough evidence to reject a proposition.

A :
A statistical test used to determine whether two population
means are different when the variances are known and the
sample size is large.

25/30
B) T-TEST
A statistic test used to determine whether there are differences
between two means or between a target value and a calculated
mean.
It is commonly used when the variances of two normal
distributions are unknown and when an experiment uses a small
sample size.

C) ANOVA
A statistical method for making simultaneous comparisons between two or
more means.
Used to determine the impact independent variables have on the
dependent variable in a regression analysis.There are two types of ANOVA:
One way ANOVA : a technique used to compare means of two or more
samples (using the F distribution).
Two way ANOVA : statistical test to study the effect of two categorical
independent variables on a continuous outcome variable.

D) CHI-SQUARE TEST
A statistical test commonly used for testing independence and
goodness of fit.
The data used in calculating a chi square statistic must be random,
raw, mutually exclusive, drawn from independent variables and be
drawn from a large enough sample.
The chi-square test is most widely used to conduct tests of
hypothesis that involve data that can be presented in a 2 table.

CONCLUSIONBiostatistics is applied in wide range of topics (health related states and
events) in epidemiology in quantifying disease burden.
Different statistical tools are frequently used for measuring the pattern,
frequency and distribution of health related problems in epidemiology.
Biostatistics is the backbone for epidemiology in quantifying diseaseburden.
