Practice of Epidemiology Dynamic Path Analysis in Life-Course Epidemiology
Life-course epidemiology seeks to better understand the mechanisms that lead to the development of chronic diseases. An example is the mechanism leading from body size to coronary heart disease (CHD); one way to acquire a better understanding of this mechanism is to investigate to what extent it works through other risk factors. In this paper, the dynamic path analysis model is presented as a t...

متن کاملLife course epidemiology and infectious diseases.
There has been a traditional view that divided epidemiology into infectious and chronic diseases. Since we now know that at least 15% of cancers worldwide are caused by infections, 1 that infections frequently have a natural history lasting decades and that the same epidemiological methods can be applied to both infectious and non-infectious diseases, this view can be considered purely historic...
متن کاملCommentary: Twins, worms and life course epidemiology.
Scientists can be remarkably flexible when investigating the nature of health and survival, taking advantage of populations from roundworms to humans to gain insight. Yet, flexibility can foster concern over generalizability. In this issue of IJE, Öberg et al. provide evidence on the generalizability of findings with twins, one of epidemiology’s most popular special populations, by showing that...
