Abstract
This is a general introduction to the study of reproductive epidemiology. Some basic practical and conceptual differences between reproductive epidemiology and chronic or infectious disease epidemiology are first spelled out. The remainder of the chapter addresses such issues as reproductive life events, the characteristics of the menstrual cycle, fertility, pregnancy loss, pregnancy complications, birth weight, and birth defects.
