Applied Biostatistics for Health Science and Epidemiology

Dear Colleagues,

We are seeking submissions for a Special Issue of  Applied Sciences on the topic of “Applied Biostatistics for Health Science and Epidemiology”, dedicated to the application of advanced biostatistical methods and development and advancement of statistical methods in the broad area of public health, biomedical sciences and epidemiology.

The aim of this Special Issue is to stimulate and disseminate information related to the application and development of statistical techniques in the wider area of public health to improve effectiveness and competence of public health interventions, and thus, the overall health outcome of populations worldwide. Public health and epidemiology have a long history of applying statistical methods to investigate critical health-related issues, including disease control, risk prediction, and health awareness, and many revolutions in statistical procedure have ascended from these disciplines. Therefore, this Special Issue welcomes scientific articles relevant to global public health from different countries and cultures, to assemble an issue that raises awareness and understanding of public health problems, through the evaluation of real-life data using modern statistical methods.

This Special Issue welcomes submissions of original research in the following areas:

• Health-related data modelling from survey and epidemiological studies;
• Statistical techniques, their development and progression;
• Public health, health economics and health education;
• Chronic diseases,including diabetes, hypertension and mental health; 
• Visual impairment;
• Heath technology;
• Infectious diseases;
• Cardiovascular disease;
• Biomedical research.
