这个经典文本的新版本仍然是流行病学的权威词典。事实上，它不仅仅是一本字典，一些评论家评论说，如果他们必须将他们的专业图书馆限制在一册，他们会选择这本书。在复杂的流行病学领域，术语的定义和简明解释是理解流行病学概念的关键，而词典超越了简单的定义，因为它将每个术语牢固而清晰地置于更全面的流行病学背景中。新版本看到米格尔·波尔塔作为编辑，与传奇的约翰·拉斯特作为副主编。有大量的新术语，新版本的特点是新的插图和新鲜，新的，干净的设计。在流行病学中，这是绝无仅有的。
The new edition of this classic text remains the definitive dictionary in epidemiology. In fact, it is more than a dictionary, with some reviewers remarking that if they had to limit their professional library to one volume, this would be the book they would choose. In the complex field of epidemiology, the definition and concise explanation of terms is a key to understanding epidemiologic concepts, and the dictionary goes beyond simple definitions, as it place each term firmly and clearly in its fuller epidemiologic context. The new edition sees Miguel Porta as editor, with the legendary John Last remaining as associate editor. There are a large number of new terms, and the new edition features new artwork and fresh, new, clean design. There is nothing else like it in epidemiology.
