[Spanish version of the epidemiologic dictionary of J. M. Last].
We comment briefly on the original edition of Last's dictionary of epidemiology and we make a detailed criticism of the translated version of the dictionary. We show several general problems of the spanish version and specifically discuss four epidemiology concepts (power, verosimility, child mortality and odds ratio) in which the definitions of the translated version are particularly confusing.
