In order to calculate the risk of disease, you must measure the number of new cases developing during a period of time.

True
False
Only in specific types of diseases
Only in large populations

The correct answer is: True

"True" is the correct answer because in order to determine the risk of disease, you need to measure the incidence or number of new cases that have occurred during a certain period of time. This allows researchers to understand how many people are affected by the disease within a specific time frame. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they limit the scope of when this calculation can apply. In reality, measuring the incidence of a disease is applicable for all types of diseases and can be done in both large and small populations. Therefore, option A is the most accurate and comprehensive answer.
