Resumen
RODRIGUEZ-VILLAMIZAR, Laura A.. Causal inference in epidemiology. Rev. salud pública [online]. 2017, vol.19, n.3, pp.409-415. ISSN 0124-0064. https://doi.org/10.15446/rsap.v19n3.66180.
This essay makes a brief account of the historical development of epidemiology as a fundamental element for understanding the development of thought and causality models. Subsequently, the theoretical foundations that support the identification of causal relationships and the available models and methods of analysis are exposed, providing some examples of their application. Finally, the strengths and limitations of this epidemiological analysis during the identification of causal relationships are presented.
