Abstract

The most common problems in epidemiological research use appropriate study design. Statistics has contributed to conceptualisation, development and success of these studies. This paper presents the case-control study, its relationship with cohort study and its important contribution in the past 50 years in public health and biomedicine. It also discusses the way of measuring the association between risk factor and disease using the odds ratio and the Mantel and Haenszels contribution.
