Question

The table shows the rate of melanoma by gender.

Answer 1

Answer:

the right answer is in 2005, 27.99 males out of every 100,000 or diagnosed with melanoma

Explanation:

This number represents the incidence of melanoma (Skin cancer).

In epidemiology, incidence refers to the number of new cases of illness that have occurred during a given period of time. An increase in the incidence makes it possible for example to note an epidemic, even a pandemic. This data should not be confused with the prevalence, which refers to the number of people sick at a given time, or the incidence rate, which allows a better comparison of populations, by dividing the incidence by a representative sample of population (for example the number of cases per 100,000 people). The unit used to express the incidence is the number of new cases per person-time (example: 75 person-years).
