branch of medicine studying disease patterns
The area of medicine and public health that looks at how disease spreads, who gets it, and why, in groups of people.
Vzorec užití:
epidemiology of [a disease/condition]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse "epidemiology" (the field of study) with "epidemiologist" (the person who works in this field), or with "epidemic" (a large outbreak of disease). Remember: epidemiology = the study; epidemiologist = the scientist; epidemic = the event.
Synonyma
public health (Broader field concerned with protecting and improving population health; epidemiology is one main scientific tool within it.)
|
population health research (Focuses on research about health in populations; overlaps strongly but is slightly broader than the formal discipline name.)
|
study of disease patterns (Plain-language paraphrase rather than a formal technical term.)
Antonyma
clinical medicine (Focuses on diagnosing and treating individual patients rather than studying disease in whole populations.)

pattern of a disease in a population
The way one disease appears in a group of people, including how common it is and what seems to cause it.
Vzorec užití:
the epidemiology of [a disease] in [a place/group]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes think this use of "epidemiology" means only "how fast a disease spreads." It actually includes who gets the disease, how often, where, when, and why, not just speed of spread.
Synonyma
disease pattern (General term that highlights how a disease appears and spreads, without necessarily stressing formal scientific methods.)
|
disease profile (Emphasizes the overall picture of a disease in a population, sometimes including typical patients and risk factors.)
Antonyma
