Spatial Epidemiology
The spatial distribution of cases of disease often captures the imagination of health researchers and the general public, based primarily on the notion that the observed pattern of incidence or prevalence can provide insight in to the underlying mechanisms driving disease incidence, its progression, and the design and implementation of effective public health responses. Historical examples incl...
متن کاملCholera and Spatial Epidemiology
Cholera is an acute intestinal infection caused by the water borne bacteria Vibrio cholerae O1 or O139 (V. cholerae). Infection is mainly through ingestion of contaminated water or food (Kelly, 2001). Approximately 102-103 cells are required to cause severe diarrhea and dehydration (Sack et al., 1998; Hornich et al., 1971). Ingested cholera vibrios from contaminated water or food must pass thro...
متن کاملImplications of Lifecourse Epidemiology for Research on Determinants of Adult Disease.
Many diseases commonly associated with aging are now thought to have social and physiologic antecedents in early life. Understanding how the timing of exposure to early life risk factors influences later-life health may illuminate mechanisms driving adult health inequalities and identify possible points for effective interventions. Recognizing chronic diseases as developing across the lifecours...
متن کاملSpatial statistics in environmental epidemiology
The planet earth is rich in carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen; it is third from the sun in an orbit that delivers just the right amount of heat and light; and it travels through space with a thin shell of protective ozone that has been crucial to the evolution of terrestrial-based organisms. Our environment has in recent times been seen as delicate and not to be taken for granted. The study of the i...
متن کاملSpatial measurement errors in the field of spatial epidemiology
BACKGROUND Spatial epidemiology has been aided by advances in geographic information systems, remote sensing, global positioning systems and the development of new statistical methodologies specifically designed for such data. Given the growing popularity of these studies, we sought to review and analyze the types of spatial measurement errors commonly encountered during spatial epidemiological...
