    This document discusses two types of epidemiological studies: case control studies and cohort studies. It provides an introduction to analytical epidemiology and individual studies, noting case control studies investigate the association between exposure to risk factors and disease occurrence by comparing cases (those with a disease) to controls (those without the disease). Cohort studies follow groups of individuals over time to examine exposure to risk factors and disease development.

    Second major type of epidemiological

    studies. Focus here is individual within a population. Designed primarily to establish the causes of disease by investigating association between exposure to a risk factor and occurrence of disease.
    Two types: 1.Case control study 2.Cohort study

    CASE CONTROL STUDY:

    CASES (those with condition) Eg: cases with oral cancer

    EXPOSED(with characteristic or risk factor) Eg: tobacco chewers

    UNEXPOSED(without characteristic or risk factor) Eg: non chewers


    EXPOSED(with characteristic or risk factor) Eg: tobacco chewers UNEXPOSED(without characteristic or risk factor) Eg: non chewers

    CONTROLS (those without condition) Eg: those free of oral cancer
