____ health problems
Disease distribution - Correct Answers -epi is concerned with the frequency and pattern of
health events in a population
Disease determinants - Correct Answers -factors that either cause a health individual to become
sick or cause a sick person to recover, these include genetic make-up, gender, age, etc.
Disease frequency - Correct Answers -quantifying how often a disease arises in a population;
develop definition of disease, method to count cases, determining size of population
Population - Correct Answers -concerned with disease occurrence in groups of people rather
than in individuals, group of people with a common characteristic such as place of residence,
gender, age or use of certain medical services/ resources (example is Harrisonburg)
, Disease control - Correct Answers -accomplished through epidemiological research and
