	In [[epidemiology]], '''point prevalence''' is a measure of the proportion of people in a population who have a disease or condition at a particular time, such as a particular date. It is like a snap shot of the disease in time. It can be used for statistics on the ~~occurence~~ of [[chronic diseases]].

Point prevalence in regards to epidemiology is a measure of the proportion of people in a population who have a disease or condition at a particular time, such as a particular date. It is like a snap shot of the disease in time. This is in contrast to period prevalence which is a measure of the proportion of people in a population who have a disease or condition over a specific period of time, say a season, or a year. Point prevalence can be described by the formula

Prevalence = no. of existing cases on a specific date/ no. of people in the population on this date
