Analytical epidemiology study is one that been used to evaluate the presence of toxic metals in baby foods. The study is set up to evaluate the health issue by looking into various baby foods consumed by children (Jackson, 2019). The health issue can also be evaluated by finding the children who have been affected by the toxins. Through this, an analysis will be conducted to determine the need for the government to make sure that there is a need to address the issue.
