Epidemiology and biostatistics play pivotal roles in public health by providing essential tools and methodologies for understanding disease patterns, identifying risk factors, and evaluating interventions. Epidemiology focuses on the distribution and determinants of health and disease in populations, aiming to uncover patterns, trends, and associations to inform public health action. Biostatistics, on the other hand, encompasses the design, analysis, and interpretation of data in biological and health-related studies, enabling researchers to draw valid conclusions from complex datasets. Together, these disciplines contribute to evidence-based decision-making in healthcare policy, disease prevention, and clinical practice. This abstract explores the interdisciplinary nature of epidemiology and biostatistics, highlighting their significance in public health research and practice. It delves into key concepts such as study design, data collection methods, statistical analysis techniques, and interpretation of findings. Additionally, it discusses the role of epidemiologists and biostatisticians in addressing contemporary public health challenges, including infectious diseases, chronic conditions, environmental health threats, and disparities in healthcare access and outcomes.
