Abstract

Epidemiology is a science that studies the spread and disease factors of the human population and the application of this science to addressing health problems. Epidemiology is considered a fundamental set of methods in all public health research and has great application in clinical medicine in determining the risk factors of the disease and determining the best health effect in clinical practice. Epidemiology as a science deals with factors affecting the health and illness of individuals and societies, and in that sense serves as the basis and logical basis for interventions in the interest of public health and preventive medicine.
