Definición

  • Social epidemiology is a field that primarily focuses on the investigation of the social determinants of population distributions of health, disease, and well-being. In contrast to many other fields in epidemiology, social epidemiology places emphasis on the causes of incidence of disease (i.e., the “causes of causes”), which may be very different from the causes of individual cases of disease.
