The XIX World Congress of Epidemiology discussed 'Changing populations, changing diseases: epidemiology for tomorrow's world' and was able to set a benchmark for the current state for the science of population health. However, 'changing populations and changing diseases' mean that robust epidemiological enquiry is, and will continue to be, required, but most importantly, it must remain objective and relevant to the public it serves. We look forward to further discussion on population health science in tomorrow's world in three years time at the XX World Congress of Epidemiology in Anchorage, Alaska.
第十九届世界流行病学大会讨论了“变化的人口，变化的疾病：为明天的世界而进行的流行病学研究”，并能够为人口健康科学的现状设定基准。然而，“变化的人口和变化的疾病”意味着强有力的流行病学研究是并且将继续是必要的，但最重要的是，它必须保持客观性，并与它所服务的公众相关。我们期待着在三年后的阿拉斯加安克雷奇举行的第二十届世界流行病学大会上，进一步讨论明天的世界中的人口健康科学。
