hi..

mortality is the rate of a disease that cause death.. for eg. if x disaese mortality is 5%, that means 5 of 100 sick persons can die because of this disease.

incident - an event, an occurance, something that happens

incidence - how often something happens, frequency.

So you could talk about the incidence of incidents Smile [:)]

Incidence is a measure of disease that allows us to determine a person’s probability of being diagnosed with a disease during a given period of time. Therefore, incidence is the number of newly diagnosed cases of a disease. An incidence rate is the number of new cases of a disease divided by the number of persons at risk for the disease. If, over the course of one year, five women are diagnosed with breast cancer, out of a total female study population of 200 (who do not have breast cancer at the beginning of the study period), then we would say the incidence of breast cancer in this population was 0.025. (or 2,500 per 100,000 women-years of study)
