| | epidemiology - definition of epidemiology in Encyclopedia |
 | | Epidemiology in its broadest sense is the study of disease patterns in human populations. | | | Although the recognition of epidemiology as its own field of study is fairly recent, epidemiology has been the foundation of public health and medicine throughout history. | | | It is a broad field of study that uses principles of investigation, medicine, and biostatistical methodology. |

| | Epidemiology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Although epidemiology is sometimes viewed as a collection of statistical tools used to elucidate the associations of exposures to health outcomes, a deeper understanding of this science is that of discovering causal relationships. | | | It is considered a cornerstone methodology of public health research, and is highly regarded in evidence-based medicine for identifying risk factors for disease and determining optimal treatment approaches to clinical practice. | | | Epidem.com - Epidemiology (peer reviewed scientific journal that publishes original research on epidemiologic topics) |

| | Epidemiology |
| | Epidemiology is the study of patterns of disease and injury in human populations and the application of this study to the control of health problems. | | | As a fundamental science of preventive medicine and public health, epidemiologic research has traditionally focused on questions of disease causation through population studies for both infectious and chronic diseases. | | | Epidemiologic research has often provided information that has formed the basis for public health decisions long before the basic mechanism of a particular disease was understood. |
