The purpose of the paper is to relate standard epidemiologic and statistical methods for measures of disease occurrence to the description of prevalence proportions and incidence rates of dental diseases. No new concepts are introduced, but the choice of the unit of analysis of numerator and denominator is discussed, and the biological interpretation of the within-patient correlation coefficient is discussed.
本文的目的是将用于疾病发生测量的标准流行病学和统计方法与牙科疾病患病率和发病率的描述联系起来。文中未引入新的概念，但讨论了分子和分母分析单位的选择，并探讨了患者内相关系数的生物学解释。
