Summary

This document provides an overview of epidemiology, including the study of the distribution of health-related states and events within a population. It details aspects such as frequency, patterns, and scopes of health events and conditions. The document also covers the historical background of Epidemiology of diseases and the Natural history of diseases. It also explores different approaches to assessing health conditions and levels of prevention.

EPIDEMIOLOGY Monitor- diseases and health condition Is the study of the distribution and through screening and surveillance determinants of health related state or events in specified population and Evaluation - approaches says and application of the study to the interventions that reduce recent promote prevention and control of the health health. problems Focus - frequency and pattern of health event in a “population” USES: Frequency - refers to the number of health 1.
