AB Epidemiology  is  the  basic  science  and  most  fundamental  practice  of  public  health  and  preventive  medicine.  We  can  study  health  and  disease  by  observing  their  effects  on  individuals,  by  laboratory  investigation  of  experimental  animals,  and  by  measuring  their  distribution  in  the  population.  Each  of  these  ways  of  investigating  health  and  disease  is  used  by  the  epidemiologist.  Epidemiology  is  therefore  the  scientific  foundation  for  the  practice  of  public  health.
