Epidemiology is the branch of public health that studies the distribution, patterns, and causes of diseases and health conditions in populations. It aims to identify risk factors for diseases, understand how they spread, and develop strategies to prevent or control health problems. Epidemiologists use data and research to track health trends and inform public health policy, disease prevention, and health promotion efforts.
