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.
Kullanım kalıbı:
epidemiology of [a disease/condition]
Sık yapılan hata:
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.
