1. In a particular community, 115 persons in a population of 4,399 became ill


with a disease of unknown etiology. The 115 cases occurred in 77
households. The total number of persons living in these 77 households was
424. A.) Calculate the overall attack rate in the community. B.) Calculate the
secondary attack rate in the affected households, assuming that only one
case per household was a primary (community-acquired) case.
2. From the following data calculate CDR, under 5 year mortality rate,
proportional mortality rate for hepatitis and case fatality rate .

Midyear population 42,800


Total deaths 450
Total live births 1080
Deaths under 5 years age 70
Infective hepatitis cases 180
Deaths due to hepatitis 10

3. A survey was conducted in a town with a population of 15,000. It was found


that there were 5 new cases of diabetes diagnosed in the month of
November. 25 cases of diagnosed diabetes were already present. Calculate
incidence and prevalence rate.
4. Following data were obtained from a city. Calculate sex ratio and sex
specific death rate.

Sex Midyear population Deaths in year


Male 70,000 550
Female 30,000 450

5. In a village with 2000 population the birth rate is 25/1000population and


Infant mortality rate is 70/1000 live births . How many births will take place
and how many will survive at age one?
