Spatial analysis for epidemiology

Acta Tropica, 2004
Remote sensing, geographical information systems (GIS) and spatial analysis provide important tools that are as yet under-exploited in the fight against disease. As the use of such tools becomes more accepted and prevalent in epidemiological studies, so our understanding of the mechanisms of disease systems has the potential to increase.

Innovation to impact in spatial epidemiology [PDF]

BMC Medicine, 2018
Spatial epidemiology is a rapidly advancing field, pushing our abilities to measure, monitor and map pathogens at increasingly finer spatiotemporal scales. However, these scales often do not align with the abilities of control programmes to act at them, building a disconnect between academia and implementation.

Spatial Lifecourse Epidemiology and Infectious Disease Research [PDF]

Trends in Parasitology, 2020
Spatial lifecourse epidemiology aims to utilize advanced spatial, location-aware, and artificial intelligence technologies to investigate long-term effects of measurable biological, environmental, behavioral, and psychosocial factors on individual risk for chronic diseases.

Spatial Epidemiology: Spatial Clustering and Vulnerability

This chapter introduces a method for combining the use of multiple software packages and open-source datasets to identify unusual clusters of high disease rates and explore the socio-economic and environmental characteristics of physical landscapes that may explain high rates.

Epidemiology for public health practice: The application of spatial epidemiology. [PDF]

World J Diabetes, 2022
Spatial epidemiology is the description and analysis of geographic patterns and variations in disease risk factors, morbidity and mortality with respect to their distributions associated with demographic, socioeconomic, environmental, health behavior, and genetic risk factors, and time-varying changes.

Progress on application of spatial epidemiology in ophthalmology. [PDF]

Front Public Health, 2022
Most ocular diseases observed with cataract, chlamydia trachomatis, diabetic retinopathy, and uveitis, have their associations with environmental exposures, lifestyle, and habits, making their distribution has certain temporal and spatial features based essentially on epidemiology.

Spatial parasite ecology and epidemiology: a review of methods and applications. [PDF]

, 2012
The distributions of parasitic diseases are determined by complex factors, including many that are distributed in space. A variety of statistical methods are now readily accessible to researchers providing opportunities for describing and ultimately ...

Spatial epidemiology of diabetes: Methods and insights. [PDF]

World J Diabetes, 2021
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a growing epidemic with global proportions. It is estimated that in 2019, 463 million adults aged 20-79 years were living with DM. The latest evidence shows that DM continues to be a significant global health challenge and is likely to continue to grow substantially in the next decades, which would have major implications for ...
