Abstract

<p>This paper describes recent trends in the fields of disaster epidemiology, social epidemiology, and birth cohort research. The experience of the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011 has attracted attention to disaster epidemiology. Social epidemiology aims to identify social environmental exposures associated with various physical and mental health outcomes. Birth cohorts are often differentially affected by social events. Epidemiological research methods are used in a wide range of fields, and can be expected to continue to develop in the future. In addition, it is expected that the results of various epidemiological studies will be implemented in society.</p>
