Building on the success of the first and second editions, the updated third edition of the Handbook of Epidemiology serves as a major reference for all researchers who want to conduct epidemiological studies or who want to deepen their understanding of epidemiological concepts, methods, and areas of application. The new edition provides an update of all chapters of the second edition and includes additional new chapters to account for recent developments in the field. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the field and covers basic approaches as well as novel and advanced methodologies with a strong applied focus by integrating the most relevant state-of-the-art knowledge that otherwise could only be gathered from single specialist publications dispersed over various scientific journals. It reviews the key issues and methodological approaches pertinent to the field for which the reader pursues an expatiated overview. It may thus serve both as a firstorientation for the interested reader and as a starting point for an in-depth study of a specific area as well as a quick reference and a recapitulatory update for the expert.The broad scope of the book becomes apparent by its five sections that facilitate an integration of epidemiological concepts and methods, statistical tools, applications, and epidemiological practice: Part I covers Concepts and Designs in Epidemiology; Part II, Methodological Approaches in Epidemiology; Part III, Statistical Methods in Epidemiology; Part IV, Exposure-Oriented Epidemiology; and Part V, Outcome-Oriented Epidemiology. All chapters follow a similar structure and highlight cross-references to related topics and specialist knowledge to be found in the Handbook. They give an overview of the topic and the most important problems and approaches that are illustrated by examples. Each chapter serves as an introductory text that helps to enter a new field by addressing basic concepts without being too elementary. Thus, it also is of interest for readers who are familiar with the particular topic by reflecting on its state-of-the-art and future perspectives. Each chapter stands on its own and comprises introductory elements that can be understood by the novice, i.e., a readership not being too familiar with the methodological background, and extends to in-depth knowledge that may serve as a reference for the trained epidemiologist. The standard procedures and methods, basic concepts, and knowledge are presented as well as recent advances and new perspectives. The list of references thus covers the whole range from introductory texts to publications for the advanced reader. In particular, the chapters on statistical methods are written for researchers in health sciences who do not have the background of theoretical statisticians and may be in need of application-oriented tools. These chapters offer numerous examples, practical applications, and illustrations. Handbook of Epidemiology, 3rd Edition, is a relevant resource for professionals involved in health research, health reporting, health promotion, disease prevention, health services, and health systems administration, as well as those who need a reference book that covers all aspects of epidemiology as a comprehensive consultant for specific topics. The Handbook also is a useful text for researchers and graduate students in all disciplines related to epidemiology and public health.

Despite adults’ best preventive efforts, childhood obesity is on the rise in most areas of the world, and with it the prevalence of Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and other formerly adult-onset conditions. Epidemiology of Obesity in Children and Adolescents takes the global ecological approach that is needed to understand the scope of the problem and its multiple causes and mechanisms, and to aid in developing more effective prevention and intervention programs. In the book’s first half, experts present a descriptive summary of youth obesity trends in ten world regions, broken down by age group, gender, socioeconomic status, and risk factors. Complementing these findings, part two reviews the evidence base regarding the variables, separately and in combination, having the most significant impact on young people’s development of obesity, including:• Genetic and nutrigenomic factors.• Environmental and psychosocial factors, such as family shopping and eating habits and access to healthful foods.• Neuroendocrine regulation.• Prenatal and neonatal factors (e.g., gestational diabetes of the mother).• Dietary factors, from nutrient content to young people’s food preferences.• Physical activity versus sedentary behavior.Epidemiology of Obesity in Children and Adolescents is necessary reading for the range of professionals involved in curtailing this epidemic, including public health specialists, epidemiologists, pediatricians, nurses, nutritionists, psychologists, health educators, and policymakers.

This book describes key methods and instruments for assessing diet-related factors, physical activity, social and environmental factors, physical characteristics and health-related outcomes in children and adolescents. These tools were developed and deployed within the framework of the pan-European IDEFICS and I.Family cohort studies. These population-based field studies were funded within the 6th and 7th European Framework Programme, respectively, and were intended to assess the prevalence and aetiology of lifestyle-related diseases in children, focusing on overweight and obesity, and to develop effective strategies for primary prevention. In the course of a decade we undertook a major research endeavour, collecting standardised data from children, families, neighbourhoods, kindergartens, pre-schools and schools in eight European countries, employing a uniform cross-cultural methodology. This resulted in a rich picture of the daily lives and living contexts of children and their families.Studies encompassing childhood and adolescence face the particular challenge of the transitions from pre-school to primary school and from childhood to adolescence; accordingly, the instruments used need to be adapted to different developmental stages while maintaining their comparability across the age range. In young children, questionnaires have to be completed by proxies, usually their parents, while older children, particularly adolescents, can provide a major part of the requested information themselves.This book presents suitable designs, methods and instruments for data collection in studies of children and adolescents. Each chapter explains the development and background of the instruments applied in the surveys and summarises the current state of knowledge. All chapters were written by key experts in their respective research fields. We are grateful for their valuable contributions and their enthusiastic support in producing this book, which also presents survey experiences in which practice does not always follow theory. Participants’ responses can on occasion be unexpected and unpredictable, but meeting these challenges can also enrich epidemiological surveys and yield methodological refinements. We sincerely hope that the book and the online material will be of considerable value to other research teams.

Jeder der epidemiologische Studien plant, organisiert oder auswertet, muss quantitativ-statistischer Methoden nutzen. Wer solche Untersuchungen aus erster Hand verstehen und beurteilen will, braucht dafür statistische und methodische Kenntnisse. So manche Kontroverse über epidemiologische Studien rührt daher, dass entweder inadäquate Methoden verwendet oder statistische Aussagen falsch interpretiert werden.Ziel dieses Buches ist es daher, die für epidemiologische Studien notwendigen methodischen Kenntnisse von Grund auf zu vermitteln und anhand von Beispielen zu erläutern. Dazu werden die Konzepte der Konstruktion und Gewinnung epidemiologischer Maßzahlen, die wichtigsten Erhebungsmethoden, die Bewertung und Korrektur von Fehlerquellen sowie die grundlegenden Auswertungsmethoden epidemiologischer Studien beschrieben. Die für die Epidemiologie wichtigen statistischen Methoden werden in einem eigenen Anhang beschrieben.Das Buch richtet sich an alle, die im Rahmen ihrer Arbeit mit epidemiologischen Studien beschäftigt sind. Somit ist es für Studierende der Human- und Tiermedizin sowie der Naturwissenschaften und für Wissenschaftler und Praktiker in Gesundheits- und Tiergesundheitsbehörden und Forschungseinrichtungen gleichermaßen geeignet.In seiner 5. Neuauflage wurde das Autorenteam ergänzt und der Text umfangreichen Aktualisierungen und Erweiterungen unterzogen. Insbesondere wurden jetzt eine Vielzahl von aktuellen praktischen Beispielen, neue Kapitel zur Durchführung und zur Bewertung epidemiologischer Studien sowie weitere statistische Verfahren wie die Poisson-Regression und die Regression mit Proportional Odds aufgenommen.
