  1. analytic epidemiology: the aspect of epidemiology concerned with why and how a health problem occurs
  2. distribution: in epidemiology, the frequency and pattern of health-related characteristics and events in a population
  3. epidemiological approach: focuses on populations
  4. field epidemiology: applied epidemiology when the epidemiologist must travel to and work in the community in which the health problems is occurring or has occurred
  5. epidemiology: the study of the distribution of health conditions or events among the populations and the application of that study to control health problems
  6. population: the total number of inhabitants of a geographic area or the total number of persons in a particular group
  7. descriptive epidemiology: the aspect of epidemiology concerned with organizing and summarizing data regarding the persons affected
  8. public health: the science and art of preventing disease, prolonged life, and promoting health through the organized efforts and informed choices of society, organizations, public, and private communities and individuals
  9. rate: can be formally defined as the frequency with which an event occurs in a defined population in a specified period of time.
  10. variance: is a common measure of random error.
  11. determinant: any factors that brings about change in a health condition or in other defined characteristics.
  12. outcomes: any or all the possible results that can stem from exposure to a causal factor or from preventive or therapeutic interventions all identified changes in health status that result from the handling of a health problem.
  13. clinical approach: focuses on the individuals
  14. outbreak: the occurrence of more cases of disease, injury, or other health condition than expected in a given area or among a specific group of persons during a particular period.
  15. census: every individual in the population is evaluated.
  16. surveillance: the ongoing systematicollection, analysis, interpretation, and the dissemination of information or data about a health-related even to those who need to know so that action may be taken to reduce morbidity and mortality and to improv
