Xth International Francophone Adelf-Epiter Congress Epidemiology and Public Health

Résumé

The International Francophone Congress of Epidemiology, organized by Adelf et Epiter, which form a network of more than 500 epidemiologists, gathers every two years between 300 and 500 scientists and public health stakeholders (including physicians, veterinarians, and other public health professionals). The congress aims to facilitate exchanges among epidemiologists and public health stakeholders, to share their professional experiences, to advance public health research and epidemiological training, to develop a network of epidemiologists (working in surveillance, protection, promotion/prevention, planning and evaluation of health actions), to contribute to the promotion and development of both academic and field epidemiology, and to enable discussions among researchers, actors, and decision-makers. This 10th edition of the International Francophone Congress of Epidemiology is held in Limoges and covers all fields of epidemiology. Over three plenary conferences, two roundtables, 18 sessions organized from more than 80 oral presentations and about a hundred poster presentations, it addresses the theme of new epidemiological transitions. The classical notion of epidemiological transition, by which the most frequent diseases in a region of the world vary according to diverse factors (economic development, social progress, improvement of the health system...), needs to be revisited in light of recent global health developments. Indeed, the most evident epidemiological transition is seeing a rise in non-communicable chronic diseases and a cross-reduction in infectious diseases. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed how relevant these infectious diseases still are in a context where environmental, climatic, and geopolitical upheavals can only heighten the risks of emerging or re-emerging diseases. This context has also reinforced the importance of One Health concept, which promotes collaboration among specialists in human health, animal health, and environmental health. Indeed, it is crucial for epidemiologists to face new epidemiological transitions and as many challenges: How to account for the evolution of risk factors in industrialized countries? What data to provide to enable resource-limited countries to tackle the dual burden of chronic and communicable diseases? How to build the necessary collaborations for the effective implementation of the One Health approach? How to reconcile the demands for methodological rigor and ethics in epidemiology, the availability of increasingly massive data (data warehouses...), and the proliferation of increasingly sophisticated tools (computer networks, artificial intelligence...)? This special issue of the Journal of Epidemiology and Population Health (formerly “Revue d’Epidémiologie et de Santé Publique”) compiles the abstracts of oral communications and posters that, following a rigorous selection by the Scientific Council, stimulate thinking among French-speaking epidemiologists
