Abstract

The application of epidemiological knowledge is aimed at the control and prevention of diseases and the study of the health and disease process itself. This defines it as a science (with methodological rules, contributions to knowledge over time, hypothesis and analysis proposals with their valuations and rejections, and the generation of useful information for decision and action).
