| A study in 2002 examined depression among persons with dementia. The study recruited 201 adults with dementia admitted to a long-term care facility. Of the 201, 91 had a prior diagnosis of depression. Over the first year, 7 adults developed depression. What is the incidence? |

Definition
(those who developed depression over first year)/(those at risk for developing depression the first year)
7/(91+7)
7/110
0.064
The one year incidence of depression amoung adults with dementia is 6.4%, this can also be expressed as 64 cases per 1000 persons with dementia |

Determine prevalence or incidence and calculate: |

Definition
- prevalence b/c time not involved
253040/5008863= 0.051
Prevalence is 5.1% in population or 5.1 cases per 100 or 51 cases per 1000. |
