life course perspective

What is the Life Course Perspective?

The life course perspective in epidemiology is an approach that examines how physical and social exposures during different stages of life—prenatal, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and old age—affect health outcomes later in life. This perspective integrates biological, behavioral, and psychosocial processes that operate across an individual’s lifespan, providing a comprehensive understanding of disease etiology and health trajectories.
