“…Since 2016, the PONS project cohort has been included in the global PURE study. To effectively identify bio-psycho-social factors differentiating the incidence of health risks in the study population, an observational cohort, unique in Poland, was established in 2019-2021 as part of the "PICTURE -Population Cohort Study of Wroclaw Citizens -Health Study of School-Age Children (born 2005-2012) and their Guardians" [5]. Prospective cohort studies are a unique source of knowledge about the determinants of health in the populations studied.…”

Epidemiology is a unique science that identifies the incidence and distribution of diseases and their risk factors. An example of response to this need is the "Prospective Epidemiological Study of Urban and Rural Populations" (PURE), conducted in 27 countries around the world, including Poland, which is a unique multi-year cohort study of more than 150,000 people. The purpose of the PURE study is a prospective, multilevel observation of the development of chronic non-communicable diseases and their risk factors. The Polish cohort includes 2036 people from urban and rural areas with a rate response of 88.2% over 15 years. The main research focus of the analyses of the data collected in the Polish PURE cohort during the multiyear follow-up period was on the incidence and determinants of chronic non-communicable diseases. The results of the PURE study help in understanding the development of cardiovascular diseases and provide a unique opportunity for research and respond to the need to create guidelines, recommendations, and health policies in line with evidence-based medicine. Its results are compelling evidence pointing to the need to continue to create, develop, and maintain regional and global observational cohorts over many years.
