Epidemiology

Epidemiology is a scientific discipline that focuses on providing reliable knowledge for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases. Its research aims to identify risk factors for disease outbreaks and evaluate the effectiveness of specific treatment strategies, such as comparing new therapies with existing standard treatments. The research in this field is primarily hypothesis-driven, and statistical analysis is the main tool used by epidemiologists to analyze correlations between genetic factors, environmental factors, lifestyle parameters, and age with diseases.
