Abstract:
Recent years with the rapid progress in high-throughput omics techniques, the accumulation of population cohorts and biobanks, great advances in internet and information technology, and the emerging tools for big data utilization, health care big data provide abundant data resources and broad research platforms for epidemiological research. We aimed to review the opportunities and challenges of epidemiological research in the era of big data, and explore the future development of epidemiology. Epidemiology should seize the opportunities, open up new directions, develop new methods, and promote the translation of research results into public health and clinical medicine, which will eventually realize the vision of "Healthy China".
