Birth Cohort Study

A Birth Cohort Study is a research method that follows a group of people born around the same time, usually in a specific year or period, to observe how various factors influence their health, behavior, and experiences throughout life. Researchers collect data over many years, looking at changes in lifestyle, environment, and health outcomes. This approach helps identify trends and correlations, contributing to our understanding of how early life conditions affect individuals as they age. These studies are valuable for public health, social policies, and understanding the long-term effects of early life experiences.
