Uncertainty in epidemiology and health risk and impact assessment.
Environmental epidemiology and health risk and impact assessment have long grappled with problems of uncertainty in data and their relationships. These uncertainties have become more challenging because of the complex, systemic nature of many of the risks. A clear framework defining and quantifying uncertainty is needed. Three dimensions characterise uncertainty: its nature, its location and it...
متن کاملEpidemiology, Population Health, and Health Impact Assessment
The health of populations depends on many different factors. Epidemiology is a discipline that has a crucial role in describing health status, identifying risk factors, and analyzing relationships between health and different hazardous agents. The classical epidemiological triangle of host-agentenvironment describes how individuals become ill. Disease occurs when an outside agent (vector) capab...

assessment (RA) models with and without molecular genomic markers and the current utility of the markers in the pharmacogenetic field. Epidemiological risk assessment is appl ied using stat is t ica l models and equat ions established from current scientific knowledge of risk and disease. Several papers have reported that traditional RA tools have significant limitations in decision-making in m...
متن کاملLeveraging Epidemiology to Improve Risk Assessment
The field of environmental public health is at an important crossroad. Our current biomonitoring efforts document widespread exposure to a host of chemicals for which toxicity information is lacking. At the same time, advances in the fields of genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, genetics and epigenetics are yielding volumes of data at a rapid pace. Our ability to detect chemicals in biological ...
متن کاملNeurobehavioral epidemiology: application in risk assessment.
Neurobehavioral epidemiology may contribute information to risk assessment in relation to a) characterization of neurotoxicity and its time course; b) the dose-effect relationship; c) the dose-response relationship; and d) predisposing factors. The quality of this information relies on the validity of the exposure data, the validity and sensitivity of neurobehavioral function tests, and the deg...
