Epidemiology of Chronic Disease: Global Perspectives is the most current and
authoritative resource on the epidemiology, etiology, pathogenesis, risk factors
and preventive factors of forty common chronic diseases. This comprehensive
text provides readers with an excellent basis for examining current hypotheses
regarding chronic disease epidemiology.
Organized into eight sections, the text begins with an introductory chapter
examines the new public health environment in which chronic diseases have replaced
acute infectious conditions concurrent with improved health care and increasing
longevity in many populations of the world.
Subsequent sections cover cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, major
forms of cancer, diseases of the respiratory tract, metabolic and digestive
diseases, musculoskeletal diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, and finally,
three infectious diseases that often manifest as chronic conditions.
Special sections in each chapter focus on controversial topics that can serve
as a launching point for classroom discussion of molecular mechanisms of disease
pathogenesis and the relevant epidemiologic issues pertaining to the prevention
and control of chronic diseases.
