⩥ Distribution.
Answer: Variations in disease occurrence across populations.
⩥ Determinants.
Answer: Factors that influence health outcomes.
⩥ Population.
Answer: A group of people with shared characteristics.
⩥ Descriptive Epidemiology.
Answer: Defines frequency and distribution of disease.
⩥ Analytic Epidemiology.
Answer: Analyzes determinants of health problems.
⩥ Association.
,Answer: A statistical relationship between two or more variables.
⩥ Causation.
Answer: The relationship where one event is the result of the occurrence
of another event.
⩥ Temporality.
Answer: The cause must occur before the effect in time.
⩥ Consistency.
Answer: The association is observed repeatedly in different studies,
populations, or circumstances.
⩥ Strength of Association.
Answer: A strong statistical relationship between exposure and outcome
suggests a higher likelihood of causality.
⩥ Dose-Response Relationship.
Answer: Greater exposure leads to a higher risk of disease, supporting a
causal link.
⩥ Coherence.
, Answer: The association does not conflict with what is already known
about the disease's biology or history.
⩥ Plausibility.
Answer: A biologically reasonable mechanism exists to explain the
relationship between exposure and disease.
⩥ Experiment.
Answer: Evidence from controlled studies supports the association, often
by showing that modifying exposure changes risk.
⩥ Analogy.
Answer: Similar factors are known to cause similar effects in other
contexts.
⩥ Specificity of Association.
Answer: A specific exposure leads to a specific disease, with minimal
alternative explanations.
⩥ Primary Prevention.
Answer: Prevent initial development of disease; Example: HPV
