What Are Some Notable Longitudinal Studies in Toxicology?
Numerous longitudinal studies have significantly contributed to toxicology:
The Framingham Heart Study: Although primarily a cardiovascular study, it has provided insights into how environmental exposures influence chronic disease risk. The Agricultural Health Study: This study focuses on pesticide exposure among agricultural workers, offering valuable data on the long-term health effects of pesticides. The Nurses' Health Study: Initially focused on chronic diseases, it has expanded to assess various environmental risk factors, including the impact of endocrine disruptors.
