The Demographic Transition
The demographic transition framework illustrates population growth in terms of discrepancies and changes in two crude vital rates – mortality and fertility (ignores the third component of growth, migration)

EPIDEMIOLOGYepi – upon
demos – people
logos – study
The scientific study of the distribution and determinants of health-related states or events in specified populations, and the application of resulting knowledge to the prevention and control of health problems

Epidemiology as a Liberal Art
An accessible low-technology science, which incorporates the “scientific method, analogic thinking, deductive reasoning, problem solving within constraints, and concern for aesthetic values”
David Fraser, New England Journal of Medicine, 316(6); 1987:309-314.

Enter John Graunt (1629-1674)
vocation – haberdasher (seller of men’s accessories)
avocation – father/founder of demography and epidemiology

Graunt counted rather than considered (Major Greenwood)
Among his observations, he noted:
regularity of biological phenomena in the mass
that more males are born than females and more males die
than females (annually)

miasm – pathogenic emanation dispersed in the atmosphere
(malaria – bad ‘air’)
contagion – vehicle of person-to- person disease transmission (forerunner of germ theory)
