Across
  1. 3. Standardisation that gives comparable incidence e.g. 120 strokes per 100k/year
  2. 6. Standardisation used to calculate the Standardised Mortality Ratio (SMR). Gives a ratio out of 100 (sometimes out of 10)
  3. 8. The ratio of the probability of an event to the probability of its complement. Number of people with the disease / Number of people who don’t have the disease. No units
  4. 11. The proportion of the population with a new event in the given time period. Number of new cases during period of interest / Number of disease-free individuals at the start of the time period. No units
  5. 14. Disease prevention where available measures are applied to detect early departures from health, and appropriate treatment/intervention are introduced e.g. controlling hypertension with antihypertensive drugs
  6. 15. Disease prevention through the control of exposure to risk factors e.g. reducing salt in diet to reduce risk of developing hypertension
Down
  1. 1. The number of new cases per unit person of unit time. Number of new cases during follow-up period / Total person-time by disease-free individuals. Expressed as units of person-time
  2. 2. The change in health status; usually the dependent variable
  3. 4. Diseases that reside within a population
  4. 5. The proportion of individuals in a population who have the disease or attribute of interest at a specific time point. Number of people with the disease / Total number of individuals in the population. No units
  5. 7. Disease prevention that involves applying measures to reduce or eliminate long-term impairments or disabilities e.g. rehabilitation for someone who’s had a stroke
  6. 9. A measure of disease burden that combines life lost from ill-health, disability or premature death
  7. 10. The study of the distribution and determinants of health-related states or events in specified populations, and the application of this study to the control of health problems
  8. 12. Diseases that befall a population
  9. 13. The variable that we are trying to associate with a change in health status. Usually the independent variable e.g. drugs, behaviour, demographic characteristics
