Resumo: | The study of the geographical distribution of disease incidence and its relationship to potential risk factors (referred to here as ''geographical epidemiology") has provided, and continues to provide, rich ground for the application and development of statistical methods and models. In recent years increasingly powerful and versatile statistical tools have been developed in this application area. This paper discusses the general classes of problem in geographical epidemiology and reviews the key statistical methods now being employed in each of the application areas identified. The paper does not attempt to exhaustively cover all possible methods and models, but extensive references are provided to further details and to additional approaches. The overall aim is to provide a picture of the "current state of the art" in the use of spatial statistical methods in epidemiological and public health research. Following the review of methods, the main software environments which are available to implement such methods are discussed. The paper concludes with some brief general reflections on the epidemiological and public health implications of the use of spatial statistical methods in health and on associated benefits and problems. |

Nos últimos anos, foram desenvolvidas ferramentas cada vez mais poderosas e versáteis nesta área de aplicação. O artigo discute as classes gerais de problemas na epidemiologia geográfica e faz uma revisão dos principais métodos estatísticos utilizados atualmente em cada uma das áreas de aplicação identificadas. O artigo não procura cobrir exaustivamente todos os medos e modelos possíveis, mas fornece referências bibliográficas para outros detalhes e abordagens. O objetivo geral é dar um panorama do "estado da arte" no uso de métodos estatísticos espaciais na pesquisa em epidemiologia e saúde pública. Após a revisão metodológica, o autor discute os principais ambientes de software atualmente disponíveis para implementar tais métodos. O artigo conclui com algumas reflexões gerais sobre as implicações, para a epidemiologia e a saúde pública, do uso de métodos estatísticos espaciais em saúde, além dos benefícios e problemas associados.Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública2001-10-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/1534Reports in Public Health; Vol. 17 No. 5 (2001): September/OctoberCadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 17 n. 5 (2001): Setembro/Outubro1678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZenghttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/1534/3056https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/1534/3057Bailey, Trevor C.info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-03-06T15:26:30Zoai:ojs.teste-cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br:article/1534Revistahttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csphttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/oaicadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br||cadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br1678-44640102-311Xopendoar:2024-03-06T13:01:48.821183Cadernos de Saúde Pública - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)true |

This paper discusses the general classes of problem in geographical epidemiology and reviews the key statistical methods now being employed in each of the application areas identified. The paper does not attempt to exhaustively cover all possible methods and models, but extensive references are provided to further details and to additional approaches. The overall aim is to provide a picture of the "current state of the art" in the use of spatial statistical methods in epidemiological and public health research. Following the review of methods, the main software environments which are available to implement such methods are discussed.
