During 1985, 200 newly diagnosed cases of diabetes occurred in the Lake Wobegon metro area, which has a population of 10,000 (estimated on January 1, 1985). At the beginning of the year, there were a total of 800 patients with diabetes in the city. During the year, 40 of the original 800 diabetes died as a result of the complications of their disease. What were the:
1) Incidence rate of diabetes per 1000 person-years during 1985?
2) Prevalence of diabetes per 1,000 population on 1/1/85?
3) Prevalence of diabetes per 1,000 population on 12/31/85?
4) Mortality rate of diabetes per 100,000 person-years during 1985?
I'm having a hard time understanding these epidemiology concepts/problems. It will be awesome if you show me the step-by-step equations and how you solve it. Please and thank you!
