= Farr's laws
{wiki=Farr's_laws}
Farr's laws refer to principles in epidemiology related to the relationship between health outcomes, particularly mortality rates, and the characteristics of the population being studied. Specifically, they are associated with the work of Sir Edwin Chadwick and William Farr in the 19th century, who contributed significantly to the field of public health and statistics. Farr's laws focus on the idea that the mortality rates of specific diseases can be predicted based on the age structure of a population and the spatial distribution of that population.
