Thematik

The subject describes the methodological basis of population level studies on the causative agents and risk factors of diseases. It analyses the criteria of the causality, and the aspects of design, performing and critical analysis of epidemiological studies. It studies the structure of a population, its temporal changes, and the interaction between demographical variables and health.
