A disease-causing or health-affecting factor involved in the occurrence of illness.
EpiDizin is a bilingual reference dictionary for the language of epidemiology, developed by a team working across epidemiology and bilingual Turkish–English communication.
Conceived as the first online epidemiology dictionary of its kind in this scope, it aims to make core terms, concepts, and expressions in epidemiology clearer, more consistent, and more accessible in both languages. The project is still in active development: new entries, revisions, cross-references, and bilingual refinements are being added continuously. Over time, EpiDizin is intended to grow into a broader scholarly resource with richer definitions, conceptual links, citation support, and expanded editorial coverage for students, researchers, clinicians, and public health professionals.
