Epidemiology focuses on analyzing elements that influence health and illness patterns across human communities.

The goals of epidemiological studies include identifying disease origins, developing and assessing prevention strategies, and assisting in the design and assessment of public health initiatives. Researchers in this field examine both contagious and non-contagious illnesses. Recently, there's been growing emphasis on investigating health impacts from social and environmental factors.
