It highlights how chronic, non-infectious diseases in Western populations are shaped by lifestyle variables influenced by social and cultural forces, including obesity, sedentary behavior, medication non-compliance, and stress. The book also frames infectious disease control through human behavior and socio-cultural determinants, supporting etiological models integrating psychological, biological, and socio-cultural host characteristics.","cbCaicP9suyyp7UK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicP9suyyp7UK","pdf",27655152,1,350,"English","en","# SECTION I: HISTORICAL AND THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVES\n## Introduction: Medical Anthropology and Epidemiology\n## Early Work in Anthropology and Epidemiology: From Social Medicine to the Germ Theory, 1840 to 1920\n## Anthropology and Epidemiology in the Twentieth Century: A Selective History of Collaborative Projects and Theoretical Affinities, 1920 to 1970\n# SECTION II: INFECTIOUS DISEASES\n## Epidemiological Research on Infectious Disease: Quantitative Rigor or Rigormortis?
