EPIDEMIOLOGICAL RISK: SYSTEMATIZATION OF TYPES AND THEIR ESTIMATED CHARACTERISTICS

Abstract

At present, the category “risk” becomes one of the main paradigms of epidemiology. A large number of applied studies on the specific characteristics of risk factors for individual nosological forms of the infectious and noninfectious morbidity have been published. At the same time, there is a minimum of publications of a general pattern concerning the theoretical basis for the application of this epidemiological category. The lack of integral classification system is one of “gaps” in epidemiology. In connection with this, the purpose of the submitted report is the theoretical systematization of types of epidemiological risk and presentation of their estimated characteristics. Authors systematized main types of epidemiological risk which are widely used in population and clinical studies. In this report estimated characteristics for each of separate types of epidemiological risk for use are provided in population studies.
