An Inventory of European Birth Cohorts

Abstract: Many birth cohorts have been carried out. We performed a review of European birth cohorts to see the countries involved, provide a panorama of the current research topics and design, and, more generally, provide input for those creating collaborations and laying out guidelines aimed at unifying cohort methodologies to enable data merging and maximize knowledge acquisition. We searched PubMed and Embase for articles referring to longitudinal, prospective European birth cohorts and searched online cohort invento… Show more

“…Numerous cohorts exist in Europe and are evolving based on expanding knowledge, e.g., the DOHaD concept, with a consequent increase in the collection of genetic material and in the number of areas studied by individual cohorts [ 19 ]. This capability of cohorts to study a large array of effects contemporaneously permits them to focus on specific issues when needed, including emerging situations or factors, such as the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the COVID-19 pandemic in general, with its short and long-term consequences.…”
