The prevalence rate per 100,000 is 99.8%
We know that the prevalence rate is the proportion of persons in a population who have a particular disease over a specified period of time.
In this question, we have been given a data on breast cancer for the past year:
number of new cases: 1,774;
number of total cases: 4,192;
population: 5,977,906
We need to find the prevalence rate per 100,000
The total number of infected people = 1,774 + 4192
= 5966
Chance of infection in the whole population would be,
5,977,906/ 5966 ≈ 1002
This means, chances of having breast cancer is 1 in every 1002 people.
A prevalence rate is calculated by dividing total number of infected people by the total population. The result is then multiplied by 100,000
Now we calculate the prevalence rate per 100,000
= (5966 / 5,977,906) × 100,000
= 0.000998 × 100,000
= 99.8 %
Therefore, the prevalence rate per 100,000 is 99.8%
