Birth Cohort Registries

Birth Cohort Registries are systematic records that track groups of individuals born in the same time period. They collect health-related information over time to study how various factors, such as environment, genetics, and lifestyle, impact health outcomes. By following the same group from birth into adulthood, researchers can identify trends and changes in health and illness. This data helps inform public health policies, improve medical care, and understand long-term effects of exposures or interventions. Essentially, these registries provide valuable insights into the health of specific populations across generations.
