Describes the occurrence of a disease or disorder in a population. It is a rate, showing how many new cases of a disease occurred in a population (typically a susceptible population called the "at-risk population" ) during a specified interval of time (usually expressed as number of new cases per unit time per fixed number of people; eg, number of new cases per 1,000 persons in one year).

The occurrence of new cases of a condition. The incidence rate describes the frequency with which cases are identified. Incidence is commonly measured in new cases per 1,000 (or 100,000) of population at risk, per year. The incidence of ALS typically varies between 1 and 4 diagnoses per 100,000 of populations per year in Western nations.
