	Epidemiology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Epidemiology is the scientific study of factors affecting the health and illness of individuals and populations, and serves as the foundation and logic of interventions made in the interest of public health and preventive medicine.
		Strictly speaking, epidemiology can only go to prove that an agent could have caused but not that, in any particular case, it did cause: "Epidemiology is concerned with the incidence of disease in populations and does not address the question of the cause of an individual’s disease.

	Epidemiology
		Epidemiology is the study of the distribution and determinants of disease in human populations (Rothman and Greenland), and the application of this study to control of health problems (Last 2001).
		Epidemiology is considered the cornerstone methodology in all of public health research, and is highly regarded in evidence-based clinical medicine for identifying risk factors for disease and determining optimal treatment approaches to clinical practice.
		Epidemiology is the scientific study of factors affecting the health and illness of individuals and populations, and, in this capacity, it serves as the foundation and logic of interventions made in the interest of the publicвЂ™s health and preventive medicine.

		Epidemiology is the study of the determinants, occurrence, and distribution of health and disease in a defined population.
		Epidemiology is a descriptive science and includes the determination of rates, that is, the quantification of disease occurrence within a specific population.
		For example, Snow described many aspects of the epidemiology of cholera in the late 1840s, fully 30 years before Koch described the bacillus and Semmelweis described puerperal fever in detail in 1861 and recommended appropriate control and prevention measures a number of years before the streptococcal agent was fully described.

		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.
		Epidemiology may be viewed as based on two fundamental assumptions: first, that human disease does not occur at random, and second, that human disease has causal and preventive factors that can be identified through systematic investigation of different populations or subgroups of individuals within a population in different places or at different times.
		While basic research may add to the biologic understanding of why an exposure causes or prevents disease, only epidemiology allows the quantification of the magnitude of the exposure-disease relationship in humans and offers the possibility of altering the risk through intervention.

	Occupational Epidemiology
		However, occupational epidemiology may be of value beyond the worker and the workplace, for example by contributing to the setting of exposure limits such as air quality guidelines for the population at large.
		In occupational and environmental epidemiology it is important to be able to characterise the exposure of the 'population at risk'.
		It should be obvious, that epidemiology has a great deal to contribute to the reduction of risks to health from work, through reducing exposure, and in other ways.

		Epidemiology is the study of the distribution and causes of disease in populations.
		Epidemiologists study how many people or animals have a disease, the outcome of the disease (recovery, death, disability, etc.), and the factors that influence the distribution and outcome of the disease.
		The epidemiology of rabies addresses several questions: what animals have rabies and in what regions of the country, how many people get rabies and from what animals, and what are the best strategies for preventing rabies in people and animals.

	When Death is Sought Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia in the Medical Context
		CHAPTER 1 Page 9 THE EPIDEMIOLOGY OF SUICIDE "The psychoanalytic theories of suicide prove, perhaps, only what was already obvious: that the processes which lead a man to take his own life are at least as complex and difficult as those by which he continues to live.
		The study supports the estimate that two thirds of older persons who die by suicide are in relatively good physical health.(18) Individuals with serious chronic and terminal illness face an increased risk of suicide -- some studies suggest that the risk for cancer patients is about twice that of the general population.
		CHAPTER 1 - THE EPIDEMIOLOGY OF SUICIDE page 15 Unfortunately, because a common symptom of depression is a loss of insight and a feeling of hopelessness, depressed people usually have little understanding of the severity of their illness.

	Themes : Epidemiology
		Epidemiology is the study of how often diseases occur in different groups of people and why.
		The findings of epidemiological studies can be used to plan programmes for control of diseases; plan programmes for the treatment of diseases; and to measure the effectiveness of the control programmes.
		Scientific Epidemiology was born when John Snow through systematic documentation of data, identified drinking polluted water from one water pump as the cause of a cholera outbreak in London and terminated the epidemic by blocking water use from that particular water pump (1854).

	Emerging Themes in Epidemiology \| Full text \| The role of the applied epidemiologist in armed conflict
		Prior to the 1990s, humanitarian assistance in the context of active violence was the domain of emergency medical services; public health and epidemiology focused on refugees and displaced populations [3,6,10,11].
		Applied (or field) epidemiology was initially created by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the 1950s as a post-doctoral training program [18].
		However well-intentioned the science and programs of epidemiology, we must be vigilant that epidemiology benefits public health, that it is not used to contribute to the prolongation of conflict and that it does not become part of it [13,22-25,33].
