Abstract

Epidemiology, historically the study of communicable disease, has evolved to include the use of certain epidemiologic precepts in more diverse studies of human health and disease. Most especially, epidemiology offers a distinctly useful mechanism for research involving clinical, cultural, and economic factors impinging on the health status of individuals, families, and various populations.
