Epidemiology is a discipline both old and young.It's not until the 1970 s-1980 s,theoretical framework of epidemiology,as well as its study design and analysis methods were systematically summarized and improved.Since 1990s,modern epidemiology has made considerable progress,which is constantly updating our health concept and health model.Meantime,it's been continuously converging with other relevant discipline,gradually forming new branches and expanding its application.This paper summarizes the trends of epidemiology in recent decades,and explores the future direction of development.
