What subset of epidemiology studies the distribution of health and disease?
- ✔✔Descriptive epidemiology
What subset of epidemiology studies thee determinants of health and
disease? - ✔✔Analytic or etiologic epidemiology

✔✔The phrase "observational study"
"in a national sample"

Describe one example of an analytic study design to answer the question:
doe mild to moderate sleep apnea cause elevated blood pressure in
humans? If so, to what degree? - ✔✔If there were no ethical concerns, we
could
Experimentally manipulate how much sleep apnea people were
experiencing and put them into different groups
Name the three basic epidemiological study designs - ✔✔Cross-sectional
Case-control
Cohort
Describe a cross-sectional study and list the advantages and

Advantage: does not take much time
