Abstract: Abstract Most human diseases have avoidable causes. This is true not only of infectious diseases, but also a large proportion of cardio-vascular diseases and cancer (Doll and Peto 1981). A major goal of epidemiology is therefore to find the causes of disease in a population and then intervene to remove them.
