空间流行病学领域在过去20年中发展迅速。本文简要介绍了空间流行病学和地理信息系统在流行病学应用研究中的应用。我们强调技术的发展，并强调在流行病学研究中应用空间分析方法的机会，重点是涉及地理编码，距离估计，居民流动性，记录链接和数据集成，空间和时空聚类，小面积估计和贝叶斯应用于疾病映射的方法。本期文章将这些方法中的许多方法纳入了他们的研究设计和分析框架。我们希望这些研究将促进空间分析和地理信息系统在流行病学研究中的进一步发展和利用。(C)2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
The field of spatial epidemiology has evolved rapidly in the past 2 decades. This study serves as a brief introduction to spatial epidemiology and the use of geographic information systems in applied research in epidemiology. We highlight technical developments and highlight opportunities to apply spatial analytic methods in epidemiologic research, focusing on methodologies involving geocoding, distance estimation, residential mobility, record linkage and data integration, spatial and spatio-temporal clustering, small area estimation, and Bayesian applications to disease mapping. The articles included in this issue incorporate many of these methods into their study designs and analytical frameworks. It is our hope that these studies will spur further development and utilization of spatial analysis and geographic information systems in epidemiologic research. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc.
