Thomas McKeown (1912–1988) was a British physician, epidemiologist and historian of medicine.[1][2] Largely based on demographic data from England and Wales, McKeown argued that the population growth since the late eighteenth century was due to improving economic conditions, i.e. better nutrition, rather than to better hygiene, public health measures, and improved medicine.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] This became known as the "McKeown thesis".[12][13][14]
