We demonstrate how incidence, prevalence, remission, mortality(IPRM) models may be constructed on population life-tables,how the incidence of a condition may be calculated, and howthe consequences of demographic changes and public health interventionsmay be predicted. We illustrate the methodology by applyingit to the epidemiology of diabetes, physical inactivity andobesity in New Zealand. |
