2. Learning outcome (LO) ;
i. Explain what is an
epidemiology.
ii. Describe the purpose
of epidemiology in
public health.
3. The word epidemiology comes from
the Greek words
• epi, meaning on or upon
• demos, meaning people
• logos, meaning the study of.
In other words, the word
epidemiology has its roots in the
study of what befalls a
population.
Definition ;
4. Epidemiology is the study of how disease is distributed in
populations and the factors that influence or determine this
distribution.
(Gordis L.,2008)
Definition ;
Epidemiology is the study of the distribution and
determinants of health-related states or events in specified
populations, and the application of this study to the control of
health problems.
(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
, Atlanta USA)
5. History in
epidemiology;
400 B.C
Hippocrates attempted
to explain disease
occurrence from a
rational rather than a
supernatural viewpoint
1662
1800
1854
1990-2000
John Graunt, a London
haberdasher and
councilman who published
a landmark analysis of
mortality data in 1662. This
publication was the first to
quantify patterns of birth,
death, and disease
occurrence.
William Farr built upon
Graunt’s work by
systematically collecting
and analyzing Britain’s
mortality statistics. Farr,
considered the father of
modern vital statistics and
surveillance, basic
practices used today in
vital statistics and disease
classification.
In the mid-1800s, an
anesthesiologist named
John Snow was
conducting a series of
investigations in London
that warrant his being
considered the “father of
field epidemiology.” Snow
conducted studies of
cholera outbreaks both to
discover the cause of
disease and to prevent its
recurrence.

10. The science concerned with the study of the
factors determining and influencing the
frequency and distribution of disease, injury,
and other health-related events and their
causes in a defined human population for the
purpose of establishing programs to prevent and
control their development and spread.

6 principles in epidemiology ;
STUDY ; Biostatistics
and informatics, with
biologic, economic,
social, and behavioral
sciences.
HEALTH-RELATED
STATES OR
EVENTS ; NCD and
communicable
disease
SPECIFIED
POPULATIONS
APPLICATION ; diagnosis and
prescribe appropriate treatment for a
patient, the clinician combines
medical (scientific) knowledge with
experience, clinical judgment, and
understanding of the patient .
12. Epidemiology is the study (scientific, systematic,
data-driven) of the distribution (frequency,
pattern) and determinants (causes, risk factors) of
health-related states and events (not just
diseases) in specified populations (patient is
community, individuals viewed collectively), and the
application of (since epidemiology is a discipline
within public health) this study to the control of health
problems.
Current & best definition in
epidemiology ;
13. Second stage ; Analytic epidemiology the second stage in
an epidemiologic study, in which hypotheses generated in
the descriptive phase are tested.
Scope in epid ;
First stage epid ; Descriptive epidemiology the first stage
in an epidemiologic study, in which a disease that has
occurred is examined. Data necessary in this phase
include time and place of occurrence and the
characteristics of the persons affected.
14. Concept of RISK ;
A person expose to potential harmful agent .
Fundamental Concept In The Principle Of
Epidemiology. ;
Concept of CAUSE ;
Is an external agent (microbe,chemical subtance, physical trauma ) which result in
disease to the susceptible individuals.
Concept of DETERMINANT ;
Is an attribute or circumstance thats affects the liability of an individual to be exposed or, when expose
to develop disease. (eg : hereditary predisposition,environmental condition).
Concept of CONFOUNDING ;
Confounding variable factors which it significantly associated with both the occurrence of disease in a
population and with one of its causes or determinants but is not itself a cause.(eg : smoking, there for carcinoma
of bronchus tend to correlate)
15. 6 Core Epidemiologic Functions ;
1. HEALTH SURVELIENCES
2. LINKAGES
4. POLICY DEVELOPMENT
6. EVALUATION
5. ANALYTIC STUDIES
3. FIELD INVESTIGATION
16. 2 type of epidemiological studies ;
1. Descriptive Epidemiology;
• Descriptive epidemiology
covers time, place, and person.
• The 5W's of descriptive
epidemiology:
i. What = health issue of concern
ii. Who = person
iii. Where = place
iv. When = time
v. Why/how = causes, risk factors,
modes of transmission
2. Analytic Epidemiology;
The characteristic expect associated
with the disease;
i. Demographic factor such as age,
race, or sex;
ii. Constitutional factor such as
blood group or immune status;
iii. Behaviour or act such as
smoking or having eaten salsa;
iv. Circumstance such as living near
a toxic waste site.
1. OBSERVERTIONAL studies
2. EXPERIMENTAL studies
19. EXPERIMENTAL studies ;
The investigator determines through a controlled process the
exposure for each individual (clinical trial) or community
(community trial), and then tracks the individuals or
communities over time to detect the effects of the
exposure.
For example, in a clinical trial of a new vaccine, the investigator may
randomly assign some of the participants to receive the new
vaccine, while others receive a placebo shot.
20. OBSERVATIONAL studies;
1. Cohort study ;
• Some time we call prospective study or follow up study
or retrospective study.
• In a cohort study the epidemiologist records whether each
study participant is exposed or not, and then tracks the
participants to see if they develop the disease of interest.
• Note that this differs from an experimental study because,
in a cohort study, the investigator observes rather than
determines the participants’ exposure status.
21. Observational studies ;
2. Case controle study ;
Investigators start by enrolling a group of
people with disease (Case), As a comparison
group, the investigator then enrols a group of
people without disease (Controls).
22. Observational studies ;
3. Cross Sectional Study ;
• A sample of persons from a population is enrolled and their
exposures and health outcomes are measured simultaneously.
• The cross-sectional study tends to assess the presence
(prevalence) of the health outcome at that point of time without
regard to duration.
• For example, in a cross-sectional study of diabetes, some of the
enrolees with diabetes may have lived with their diabetes for
many years, while others may have been recently diagnosed.
23. 1. To study the cause/clinical
pictures (or etiology) of disease(s),
or conditions, disorders, disabilities,
etc.
– determine the primary agent
responsible or ascertain
causative factors
– determine the characteristics of
the agent or causative factors
– define the mode of transmission
– determine contributing factors
– identify and determine
geographic patterns
Uses of epidemiology ;
2. To determine, describe, and
report on the natural course of
disease, disability, injury, and
death.
3. To aid in the planning and
development of health services
and programs
4. To provide administrative and
planning data
5. Assessing the community’s
health.
6. Making individual decisions.
7. Completing the clinical picture
24. Ultimate Goal in epid ;
The FINALLY ultimate goal in
epidemiology is to improve the
control of a disease through both
prevention and treatment that will
prevent deaths from the disease
and will enhance the quality of life.
