Definition of Epidemiology
It is the study of distribution, determinants and frequencies of diseases
Dr. RS Mehta, MSND, BPKIHS 4
![Page 5: Epidemiology by prof. dr. rs mehta for msn students](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103117/55b2166fbb61ebb30b8b471f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Distribution of Disease
• Diseases are distributed according to:– Place– Person– Time
• Study of distribution of diseases is essential in descriptive studies
Dr. RS Mehta, MSND, BPKIHS 5
![Page 6: Epidemiology by prof. dr. rs mehta for msn students](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103117/55b2166fbb61ebb30b8b471f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Place Distribution(Geographical distribution)
• Geography of diseases can identify the role of the following factors in disease causation:– Genes,– Environment,– Culture,– Nutrition,– Socio-economic and– Cultural factors
Dr. RS Mehta, MSND, BPKIHS 6
![Page 7: Epidemiology by prof. dr. rs mehta for msn students](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103117/55b2166fbb61ebb30b8b471f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Person Distribution
• In descriptive studies persons should be defined by:– Age– Ethnicity– Sex– Occupation – Marital status– Behaviour
Dr. RS Mehta, MSND, BPKIHS 7
![Page 8: Epidemiology by prof. dr. rs mehta for msn students](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103117/55b2166fbb61ebb30b8b471f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Distribution of diseases according to age
• Age is strongly related to disease:– Certain diseases are frequent in specific age
(measles in childhood, cancer in middle age, atherosclerosis in old age)
– Bimodality: some diseases affect 2 age groups (Hodgkin's disease) – 20 and 80 years
– Some diseases are more serious and progressive in specific age groups
Dr. RS Mehta, MSND, BPKIHS 8
![Page 9: Epidemiology by prof. dr. rs mehta for msn students](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103117/55b2166fbb61ebb30b8b471f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Distribution of diseases according to sex
• Biological differences (e.g. Hormonal disorders)
• Cultural behavior (e.g. 4:1 male to female lung cancers due to smoking, and so alcohol car accidents . .)
• Some diseases are more frequent in male: duodenal ulcer, CHD ..
• Some diseases are more severe in females (CVA)
Dr. RS Mehta, MSND, BPKIHS 9
![Page 10: Epidemiology by prof. dr. rs mehta for msn students](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103117/55b2166fbb61ebb30b8b471f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Distribution of diseases according to ethnicity
• Some diseases are more frequent among specific racial groups:
– Essential hypertension– CHD– Cancers– Sickle cell anaemia
Dr. RS Mehta, MSND, BPKIHS 10
![Page 11: Epidemiology by prof. dr. rs mehta for msn students](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103117/55b2166fbb61ebb30b8b471f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Distribution of diseases according to marital status
• Mortality rates is lower for married males may be due to:– Healthy persons are more likely to get married
• Married persons had healthy lifestyle • STDs are more frequent among unmarried• Ca cervix is more common among married
women
Dr. RS Mehta, MSND, BPKIHS 11
![Page 12: Epidemiology by prof. dr. rs mehta for msn students](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103117/55b2166fbb61ebb30b8b471f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Distribution of diseases according to occupation
• Occupation may alter the habit pattern of employees e.g. (night shifts may alter sleep ..)
• Occupational hazards may affect health (biological, chemical, physical, psychosocial, mechanical)
Dr. RS Mehta, MSND, BPKIHS 12
![Page 13: Epidemiology by prof. dr. rs mehta for msn students](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103117/55b2166fbb61ebb30b8b471f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Distribution of disease according to behaviour
• Behaviour factors (smoking, alcohol, sedentary life, overeating, drug abuse, stress ..)
• Behaviour is a strong risk factor in modern-day diseases:– CHD– Cancers– CHD– Accidents
Dr. RS Mehta, MSND, BPKIHS 13
![Page 14: Epidemiology by prof. dr. rs mehta for msn students](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103117/55b2166fbb61ebb30b8b471f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Time distribution
1. Short-term fluctuations (epidemics)2. Periodic fluctuations (seasonal trend)3. Long term fluctuations (e.g. diabetes show a
consistent upward trend in the developed countries during the last 50 years
