Cohort studies are costly and time consuming. They require not only laboratory equipment and assays but also collaboration from participants and health agencies. Due to cost constraints, they are often confined to a specific population. Nevertheless, they play a crucial role in providing fundamental insights for medical advancements, shedding light on the origins of diseases, and acting in socioeconomic influence in policy making.
