Epidemiology: the foundation of public health

Detels - Page 1 Epidemiology: the foundation of public health Roger Detels, , Abstract Epidemiology is the basic science of public health , because it is the science that describes the relationship of health or disease with other health -related factors in human populations, such as human pathogens. Furthermore, epidemiology has been used to generate much of the information required by public health professionals to develop, implement, and evaluate effective intervention programmes for prevention of disease and promotion of health , such as the eradication of smallpox, the anticipated eradication of polio and guinea worm disease, and prevention of heart disease and cancer.

The chapters in this section present detailed discussions of the principles and methods of epidemiology. In this introductory chapter, I will attempt to define epidemiology, to present ways in which epidemiology is used in the advancement of public health, and, finally, to discuss the range of applications of epidemiological methodologies.
