  4. Prevalence • In epidemiology, the prevalence of a disease or condition is defined as: • the total number of persons with the disease/condition in a specified population at a specified time • and/or • the ratio of the number of cases of the disease/condition to the total population size at a specified time (percentage, rate).

  5. Odds Ratio • The odds are a way of representing probability, especially familiar for betting. • Example: the odds that a single throw of a die will produce a six are 1 to 5, or 1/5. • The odds is the ratio of the probability that the event of interest occurs to the probability that it does not. • This is often estimated by the ratio of the number of times that the event of interest occurs to the number of times that it does not.

  6. Questions/Comments • How can the presentation of this information be improved to help you act on it?
