Glossary - target population

[ottenbri]

Adapt the definition of target population [dont restrict to physiological status only]:
"Group or subgroup of humans defined by a particular physiological status (species, age-range and gender, disease status), their occupational status, their use of certain products, their geographical location, or any other distinct feature.
Because of their particular physiological status, pregnant and lactating women are specific target populations."

Relating to this, the sub-group 'exposure target' is very confusing when looking at the main diagram. Suggest to call this exposure surface (following the glossary), split by external & internal

Conclusion of sprint meeting 12-10:

• It was agreed that the definition for target population in the glossary should be extended according to the suggestion.
• The glossary definition of "exposure target" refers more to the exposure subject (being either a population or human individual). It was agreed that the glossary should be updated to use the term "exposure subject" instead of "exposure target".
• It was agreed that the term "exposure target" should not be used as a generic term for "(external) exposure surface" or "(internal) targeted exposure matrix". There seems to be no suitable term for the combined group.
