摘　　要：流行病学在人群的疾病预防控制方面应用广泛,与哲学、统计学、传染病学等学科相互渗透。然而流行病学作为一门自然科学有其固有的缺陷。扼要的介绍了流行病学研究范围的局限性,研究中偏倚避免的困难性等发展中所面临的挑战,归纳总结了流行病学与相关学科的联系,并对流行病学未来的发展进行了展望。Epidemiology, widely used in the crowd＇s disease prevention and control, is influenced by philosophy, statistics, infectious diseases. However, as a natural science, epidemiology has its inherent defect. In this paper,we briefly reviewed the limits of its research range, the difficulties of avoiding bias, and other challenges which epidemiology is facing, sum- marized the relationship between epidemiology and other disciplines, and prospect its development in the future.
