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".
近年来，随着高通量组学技术的迅速发展、人群队列和生物样本库的积累、互联网和信息技术的巨大进步以及大数据利用工具的不断涌现，医疗大数据为流行病学研究提供了丰富的数据资源和广阔的研究平台。我们旨在回顾大数据时代流行病学研究的机遇与挑战，并探索流行病学的未来发展。流行病学应抓住机遇，开拓新方向，开发新方法，促进研究成果向公共卫生和临床医学的转化，最终实现“健康中国”的愿景。
