How do priorities differ in chronic disease epidemiology?
Chronic disease epidemiology deals with long-term diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases. Priorities here are different and include:
Risk Factor Identification: Identifying and understanding the role of lifestyle, genetic, and environmental factors in chronic diseases. Prevention Strategies: Developing strategies to reduce the incidence of chronic diseases through lifestyle modifications and early detection. Health Disparities: Addressing inequalities in the burden of chronic diseases among different populations. Longitudinal Studies: Conducting long-term studies to understand the progression and outcomes of chronic diseases.
