In the case of a [[Cross sectional studies#Study design|cross sectional study]], the '''[[Measures of disease frequency#Prevalence|prevalence]]''' can be estimated amongst exposed individuals as (a<sub>1</sub>/n<sub>1</sub>), and amongst unexposed individuals as (a<sub>0</sub>/n<sub>0</sub>).<br>

Alternatively, the [[Measures of disease frequency#Incidence rate|incidence rate]] can be estimated as (a<sub>1</sub>/[total number of animal-time units in exposed group]) amongst exposed animals and (a<sub>1</sub>/[total number of animal-time units in unexposed group]) amongst unexposed animals.
