Current Topics in Occupational Epidemiology is an in-depth study of the contemporary issues and emerging themes in the field. Divided into nine sections the book discusses how traditional methods can be used to study "new" occupational diseases such as epidemiological studies of older workers, and aid understanding of the "older" topics including morbidity and mortality among coal workers.Trends in society have allowed occupational epidemiological methods to be expanded to cover issues such as the ageing workforce, return to work after illness, and the migration of workers. These issues as well as new data sources such as surveillance systems are discussed in topic specific chapters.Written by leading international experts in the field, Current Topics in Occupational Epidemiology provides a comprehensive look at the current areas of interest and will be essential reading for epidemiologists, statisticians, exposure assessment scientists, physicians, and policymakers.
