Why a thoroughly updated and revised second edition of this book about theories of disease distribution, in past and present societal and ecological context? Because the lived realities and ideas, data, and disinformation about the people's health are dynamic, not static. The first edition, published in 2011, addressed a major problem: although epidemiology is often referred to as the science of public health, unlike other sciences, its theoretical foundations are rarely articulated. While the idea of epidemiologic theory may seem dry and arcane, it is at its core about explaining the people's health. Drawing on new scholarship and providing new examples, this new edition of Epidemiology and the People's Health extends its analysis of theories employed to explain patterns of disease in their societal and ecological context and explicates how epidemiologic theory has long shaped epidemiologic practice, knowledge, and the politics of public health. The range of theories spans from ancient Greece and China and different strands of traditional medicine to the 19th-century rise of epidemiology as a scientific discipline on through the present and contrasts the currently dominant theories -- biomedical and lifestyle -- to their social epidemiologic alternatives: sociopolitical, psychosocial, and ecosocial theory of disease distribution. Central to the argument of this book is that explicit use of- and debates over -- epidemiologic theories of disease distribution will improve the odds of producing epidemiologic knowledge truly useful for preventing disease, improving the public's health, and advancing health justice.

为什么在过去的社会和生态背景下，这本书关于疾病分布理论的彻底更新和修订版需要第二版？因为人们对健康的真实生活经历、想法、数据和虚假信息是动态变化的，并不是静止不变的。2011年出版的第一版主要关注一个问题：尽管流行病学经常被视为公共卫生的科学，但它与其他学科不同的是，其理论基础并不常被阐明。虽然流行病学理论的概念可能显得枯燥乏味且玄奥，但它的核心在于解释人们的健康状况。基于新的研究成果并提供新实例，本书第二版《流行病学与人民健康》扩展了分析疾病在社会和生态背景下的分布模式，并阐述了流行病学理论长期影响流行病学实践、知识以及公共卫生的政治斗争。书中涵盖的理论从古希腊和中国的传统医学流派，再到19世纪兴起的流行病学学科，贯穿至今并对比当前主导的理论——生物医学和生活方式理论，到其社会流行病学替代论：社会政治、心理和社会生态疾病分布理论。本书的核心论点在于，对流行病学疾病的分布理论进行明确使用和辩论将有助于增加产生真正能预防疾病、改善人民健康以及促进健康的正义性以知识的几率。
