- appropriate where individual exposures are intermittent, wherein the disease
occurs abruptly and the incubation period for detection and the induction
period are short

Cohort Effect - ✅✅-Also called generation effect
The change and variation in the disease or health status of a study population
as the study group moves through time

Cohort effects include any exposure or influence, from environmental effects
to societal changes

Cohort Studies - ✅✅ -- In epidemiology, it generally refers to a group of
persons being studied who were born in the same year or period

- As time passes, the group moves through different and successive periods of
life; as the group ages, changes can be seen in the health and vital statistics
of the group
