How would you apply the epydemiology to the medicine??

Question

epidemiology*

Answer 1

Epidemiology is the study of factors affecting the health and illness of populations, and serves as the foundation and logic of interventions made in the interest of public health and preventive medicine. It is considered a cornerstone methodology of public health research, and is highly regarded in evidence-based medicine for identifying risk factors for disease and determining optimal treatment approaches to clinical practice.

The work of communicable and non-communicable disease epidemiologists ranges from outbreak investigation to study design, data collection and analysis including the development of statistical models to test hypotheses and the documentation of results for submission to peer-reviewed journals. Epidemiologists may draw on a number of other scientific disciplines such as biology in understanding disease processes and social science disciplines including sociology and philosophy in order to better understand proximate and distal risk factors.

hope this helps^_^

Answer 2

Just as an aside: The Ghost Map, a recent book by Steven Johnson, details a cholera epidemic in mid-nineteenth century London. Epidemiology was in its infancy, and the source of the epidemic was discovered by a minister and, of all people, an anesthesiologist. (Hope Pangolin reads this!)
