The impact of an exposure on a population does not depend upon:

  • A. the strength of the association between exposure and disease.
  • B. the prevalence of the exposure.
  • C. the case fatality rate.
  • D. the overall incidence rate of disease in the population.
Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The case fatality rate refers to the proportion of individuals with a disease who die from it. While important, it does not directly determine the impact of an exposure on a population. The impact depends more on prevalence, incidence, and strength of association.
