Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Epidemiology is the study of the frequency and distribution of health-related events, conditions, and their causes in a given population. This means that epidemiologists are focused on understanding patterns and trends of diseases or health conditions in a population, as well as identifying risk factors and potential interventions. Choice A is incorrect because epidemiology typically focuses on one disorder at a time, not multiple disorders. Choice B is also incorrect because while epidemiology may involve studying the development of a disease, it is not the sole focus of the field.
