Epidemiology has a rich tradition in western New York State, beginning with the classic study by Austin Flint of a waterborne typhoid fever outbreak in North Boston in 1843. Other important investigations included the study of the Buffalo poliomyelitis epidemic of 1912, by Wade Hampton Frost, which provided a comprehensive characterization of the epidemiology of the disease, and the first case-control study of cigarette smoking and lung cancer, by Morton L. Levin et al., conducted at the Roswell Park Memorial Cancer Institute in the 1940s. Other studies carried out before 1960 and included in the review deal with additional typhoid fever outbreaks, tuberculosis, breast cancer, and coronary heart disease.
纽约州西部在流行病学方面有着丰富的传统，始于1843年奥斯汀·弗林特对北波士顿水源性伤寒热爆发的经典研究。其他重要调查包括韦德·汉普顿·弗罗斯特对1912年布法罗脊髓灰质炎疫情的研究，该研究全面描述了该疾病的流行病学特征，以及20世纪40年代莫顿·L·莱文等人在罗斯威尔公园纪念癌症研究所进行的第一项吸烟与肺癌病例对照研究。1960年之前进行并纳入该综述的其他研究涉及更多伤寒热爆发、结核病、乳腺癌和冠心病。
