Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Epidemiology focuses on the study of disease patterns and causes within populations. Recent articles investigate the impact of social stratification on mortality inequities, the validity of statistical methods like Mendelian randomization, and the generalization of findings from study subsets to broader populations. Research also examines associations between environmental exposures such as air pollution and health outcomes, the relationship between mental health states and substance use, and the effects of temperature extremes on mortality, particularly in vulnerable groups. Methodological advancements in causal inference, bias quantification, and the analysis of competing risks are also explored.
