History
The journal was established in 1972 by the International Epidemiological Association to facilitate communication among its members and all those engaged in research, teaching and the application of epidemiology. The first editor-in-chief, Walter W. Holland, hoped to "overcome some of the problems of publication of epidemiological work in local journals, which often tend to be unavailable to workers outside that country" and to "create an international viewpoint of health problems."{{cite journal |title=Editorial |journal=International Journal of Epidemiology |volume=1 |issue=1 |year=1972 |pages=iii |first1=Walter W. |last1=Holland}}
