Population and health: an introduction to epidemiology. 2nd ed.


 This publication offers insights on epidemiology, a science that provides a unique way of viewing and investigating disease and injury involving the human population. This report is divided into different sections. Section 1 traces the historical underpinnings of the modern day science of epidemiology. Section 2 explains the demographic and epidemiologic transitions in the industrialized world and its framework, outlining the 10 leading causes of death in the US. Section 3 describes the etiology of the disease and injury through the epidemiologic triad and the simplified web of causation as applied to cardiovascular disease. Sections 4 and 5 examine the methods and materials used by scientists to study the health of the population. The final section wraps up this population bulletin by integrating the whole concept of epidemiology.
