This chapter permits the classification of environmental events and circumstances as the cause of injury, and other adverse effects.
The web of causation emphasises proximate determinants of disease amenable to intervention through individual level health care but taking into account larger social networks (see Venkatapuram, 2011, pp. 80–85).
The Wheel of Causation (Mausner & Kramer, 1985) de-emphasizes the agent as the sole cause of disease, while emphasizing the interplay of physical, biological and social environments (Figure 7). It also brings genetics into the mix.
A number of models of disease causation have been proposed. Among the simplest of these is the epidemiologic triad or triangle, the traditional model for infectious disease. The triad consists of an external agent, a susceptible host, and an environment that brings the host and agent together.
Hill's first criterion for causation is strength of the association. As he explained, the larger an association between exposure and disease, the more likely it is to be causal. To illustrate this point, Hill provided the classic example of Percival Pott's examination of scrotal cancer incidence in chimney sweeps.
The iceberg phenomenon describe a situation in which a large percentage of a problem is subclinical, unreported, or otherwise hidden from view. Thus, only the "tip of the iceberg" is apparent to the epidemiologist.
Infectious diseases can be caused by:Bacteria. These one-cell organisms are responsible for illnesses such as strep throat, urinary tract infections and tuberculosis.Viruses. Even smaller than bacteria, viruses cause a multitude of diseases ranging from the common cold to AIDS.Fungi. ... Parasites.
We all have different susceptibility Multiple innate factors (e.g., age, nutritional status, genetics, immune competency, and pre-existing chronic diseases) and external variables (e.g., concurrent drug therapy) influence the overall susceptibility of a person exposed to a virus.
Primary Prevention—intervening before health effects occur, through.Secondary Prevention—screening to identify diseases in the earliest.Tertiary Prevention—managing disease post diagnosis to slow or stop.
