Overview

Methodological review provides a foundational glossary for life course epidemiology, suggesting a standardized framework to advance research across populations.

Key Points

  • Clarify and define core concepts within life course epidemiology to encourage interdisciplinary dialogue and advance research methodology.
  • Synthesized key theoretical models and standardized terminology relevant to the life course approach in public health.
  • Outlines definitions for critical periods, risk accumulation, and chain-of-risk models across the lifespan.
  • Establishes a unified vocabulary to enhance comparability and communication across epidemiological subfields.
