The study of the causes of a disease is known as "etiology." This branch of medical science investigates the factors that contribute to the onset of disease, including biological, environmental, and lifestyle influences. Understanding etiology is crucial for developing effective prevention and treatment strategies.
There are three specialties that focus on disease in the most general sense: (1) Epidemiology, the study of disease incidence and risk (2) Etiology, the study of the origins and causes of disease (3) Pathology, the study of the nature and effects of disease in the human body
1. study of causes: the philosophical investigation of causes and origins 2. medical specialty: the branch of medicine that investigates the causes and origins of disease 3. cause of disease: the set of factors that contributes to the occurrence of a disease
An etiologist is a person who studies etiology, the study or investigation of the causes of disease.
In the most general terms, the study of causes would be called science. However, there are specialized forms of causation which have their own areas of study. Medicine studies the causes of disease. Criminology studies the causes of crime. Meteorology studies the causes of weather. Historians study the causes of WW II. And so forth.
