Physiological Epidemiology
Physiology varies with diseases
It is not only the disease affect physiology (weight loss) the physiology affects the course of a disease. For example Tuberculosis cause a large weight loss wheres as the obese diabetes patients has an elevated risk of Tuberculosis. Thus physiological epidemiology plays a significant role in understanding the disease.

The Physiological epidemiology such as height, weight, BMI and Gender plays a significant role in diseases. Exploring the relationship will clarify the mechanism and enable us to understand disease heterogeneity.
Spatial Epidemiology
Knowing the east and west of a diseases serves you better
The geographical distribution of the diseases plays a significant role in understanding the disease. For example the autoimmune disorder like Type 1 diabetes and Multiple sclerosis is high in Polar countries and low in equatorial countries. Such pattern is attributed to vitamin D deficiency which is essentially synthesized from sunlight. Studying the spatial epidemiology will provide us a clue on factors which drive the disease development.

Exploring the spatial epidemiology such as country, rural vs urban and place of birth will enable us to understand factor that play a significant role in disease
Migrational Epidemiology
The geographical distribution of the diseases in migrants can ascertain the role of genetics and explore the role of environment in driving the development of type 1 diabetes. For example the autoimmune disorder like Type 1 diabetes and Multiple sclerosis is high in Polar countries and low in equatorial countries. Such pattern is attributed to vitamin D deficiency which is essentially synthesized from sunlight. Studying the spatial epidemiology will provide us a clue on factors which drive the disease development.
