Evidence suggests that enough epidemiological studies have not been carried out to determine the sheer public health consequences of war. In the present study, I have tried to fulfill the aims of the study based on my experiences in war and peace epidemiology and also by reviewing the most relevant websites, documents and papers. The aim of the present paper, therefore, is threefold: firstly, to determine to what extent war has been investigated from an epidemiological point of view secondly, what the definition and scope of “war epidemiology” would be and thirdly, if it would be possible to introduce a new branch of epidemiology entitled “peace epidemiology”. One of the most important public health problems is “war”. Epidemiology can be considered as a responsible public health science the aim of which is to control health problems.
