Epidemiologi

Epidemiologi adalah ilmu yang mempelajari pola kesehatan dan penyakit serta fakor yang terkait di tingkat populasi. Ini adalah model corestone penelitian kesehatan masyarakat, dan membantu menginformasikan kedokteran berbasis bukti (eveidence based medicine) utnuk mengidentifikasikan faktor risiko penyakit serta menentukan pendekatan penanganan yang optimal untuk praktik klinik dan untuk kedokteran preventif. Menurut Dr. Anton Muhibuddin (Universitas Brawijaya), saat ini epidemiologi telah berkembang pesat baik pendalaman ilmunya maupun perluasan ilmunya. Perluasan ilmu epidemiologi saat ini juga mencakup epidemiologi bidang pertanian agrokompleks (termasuk perikanan, perkebunan, prikanan) dan mikrobiologi. Perluasan tersebut dirasa perlu karena manfaat epidemiolgi sangat nyata dirasakan dalam bidang-bidang ilmu tersebut. Pendalaman epidemiologi diantaranya meliputi peramalan berbasis komputer dan pengelolaan agroekosistem.
