商品描述

​This unique textbook presents the field of modern epidemiology as a whole; it does not restrict itself to particular aspects. It stresses the fundamental ideas and their role in any situation of epidemiologic practice.Its structure is largely determined by didactic viewpoints.

Epidemiology is the art of defining and investigating the influence of factors on the health of populations. Hence the book starts by sketching the role of epidemiology in public health. It then treats the epidemiology of many particular diseases; mathematical modelling of epidemics and immunity; health information systems; statistical methods and sample surveys; clinical epidemiology including clinical trials; nutritional, environmental, social, and genetic epidemiology; and the habitual tools of epidemiologic studies. The book also reexamines the basic difference between the epidemiology of infectious diseases and that of non-infectious ones.

The organization of the topics by didactic aspects makes the book ideal for teaching. All examples and case studies are situated in a single country, namely Vietnam; this provides a particularly vivid picture of the role of epidemiology in shaping the health of a population. It can easily be adapted to other developing or transitioning countries.

This volume is well suited for courses on epidemiology and public health at the upper undergraduate and graduate levels, while its specific examples make it appropriate for those who teach these fields in developing or emerging countries.


New to this edition, in addition to minor revisions of almost all chapters:

- Updated data about infectious and non-infectious diseases

- An expanded discussion of genetic epidemiology

- A new chapter, based on recent research of the authors, on how to build a coherent system of Public Health by using the insights provided by this volume.


商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本獨特的教科書全面介紹了現代流行病學的領域；它並不僅限於特定的方面。它強調了基本概念及其在任何流行病學實踐情境中的角色。其結構在很大程度上受到教學觀點的影響。

流行病學是定義和研究影響人口健康因素的藝術。因此，本書首先勾勒了流行病學在公共衛生中的角色。接著，它探討了許多特定疾病的流行病學；流行病和免疫的數學建模；健康信息系統；統計方法和抽樣調查；臨床流行病學，包括臨床試驗；營養、環境、社會和遺傳流行病學；以及流行病學研究的常用工具。本書還重新檢視了傳染病流行病學與非傳染病流行病學之間的基本差異。

根據教學方面組織主題使得本書非常適合教學。所有的例子和案例研究都位於單一國家，即越南；這提供了一幅特別生動的畫面，展示了流行病學在塑造人口健康中的角色。它可以輕易地適應其他發展中或轉型國家。

本卷非常適合高年級本科生和研究生的流行病學及公共衛生課程，而其具體的例子使其適合於在發展中或新興國家教授這些領域的教師。

本版的新內容，除了幾乎所有章節的小幅修訂外：
- 更新了有關傳染病和非傳染病的數據
- 擴展了遺傳流行病學的討論
- 基於作者最近的研究，新增了一章，探討如何利用本卷提供的見解來建立一個連貫的公共衛生系統。

作者簡介

Klaus Krickeberg was a professor at the Université Paris 5 René Descartes from 1974 until his retirement in 1998. His research focuses on dimensional theory, probability theory, stochastic geometry, geometric statistics, epidemiology (especially tropical diseases) and health information systems. In Paris, he began to study Vietnamese history and culture and, starting in 2006, led public health projects in Laos and Vietnam on behalf of a foundation. He has also worked in similar projects for UNICEF, the EU and GTZ in Vietnam and Cambodia. Krickeberg holds a doctorate from the University of Berlin. A former editor of the Journal of Probability and Related Fields, he also served on the council of the International Statistics Institute (ISI) and chaired the ISI Committee on Statistics in Developing Countries.
