epidemiology
含义: The branch of medicine that studies the distribution, patterns, and determinants of health and disease conditions in defined populations.
Epidemiology is often called the cornerstone of public health. Epidemiologists investigate outbreaks, track the spread of diseases, and identify risk factors. Their work informs policy decisions about vaccination programmes, quarantine measures, and health interventions. The field gained unprecedented public visibility during the pandemic. Related terms include 'epidemiologist' (practitioner) and 'epidemiological' (adjective).
