The hosts of Sigma Nutrition Radio discuss a seminal paper that introduced key concepts in public health and epidemiology. They explore the challenge of determining the impact of risk factors within populations, the distinction between individual-level and population-level risk, and the debate between whole population and targeted interventions. The chapter introduces the prevention paradox and emphasizes the need to modify exposures in the population to prevent health risks. They also discuss the benefits and drawbacks of population-wide approaches and the importance of combining them with targeted interventions for effective outcomes.
