Understanding exposures is essential for several reasons:
Identifying risk factors: By determining which exposures are associated with increased disease risk, researchers can identify modifiable risk factors. Developing interventions: Knowledge of exposures can lead to targeted public health interventions to reduce or eliminate harmful exposures. Informing policy: Epidemiological findings on exposures can guide policymakers in implementing regulations to protect public health. Advancing science: Studying exposures contributes to the overall understanding of disease mechanisms and interactions between multiple risk factors.
