This book is an introduction to epidemiology and to the epidemiologic approach to problems of health and disease. The basic principles and methods of epidemiology are presented together with many of the applications of epidemiology to public health and clinical practice.
The fourth edition of this book retains the organization and structure of the previous editions, which consisted of three sections. Section I focuses on the epidemiologic approach to understanding disease and to developing the basis for interventions designed to modify and improve its natural history.
