On my critical understandings about ‘modern epidemiology’

Abstract

Editor’s Note: This Essay is the last paper of Olli Miettinen. I discussed it with him until about a week before his death on November 24, 2021. The article had gone through many iterations, as was the case with all his contributions to the European Journal of Epidemiology over the years. As Miettinen writes, it can be viewed as his academic mini-bio. Albert Hofman.
