Who thinks clearly — writes clearly ... (about the problem of the terminology in the epidemiology)

State Medical Academy, Nizhny Novgorod, Russia

The work deals with the tendency of introducing superfluous terms in epidemiology and other medical sciences. Four groups of foreign terminology, occurring in scientific literature on different problems of epidemiology, are presented. Examples of publications containing terms and notions whose interpretation is absent in dictionaries are given.
