Abstract

With the progress of science and technology,agent-based modeling has gradually become a useful tool for solving complex problems in public health.Compared with foreign countries,the research and application of this model in China are relatively insufficient.In order to increase domestic scholars' understanding and application of this model,this paper introduces the concepts and knowledge related to agent-based modeling,and reviews the application of agent-based modeling in the field of public health from the aspects of infectious diseases,non-infectious diseases and health behaviors.
