AbstractThere is growing evidence that some chronic diseases are caused, or promoted, by infectious disease. ‘Population mixing’ has been used as a proxy for the range and dose of infectious agents circulating in a community. Given the speculation over the role of population mixing in many chronic diseases, we review the various methods used for measuring population mixing, and provide a classification of these. We recommend that authors fulfill two criteria in publications: measures are demonstrably associated with the putative risk factors for which population‐mixing is acting as a proxy and fundamental characteristics of the chosen measures are clearly defined.
