| Annotation | A total of 34 cohorts were included in the review: 19 cohorts partially or fully funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC); and 15 cohorts funded entirely by others. These cohort studies comprise the majority of large longitudinal population studies in the UK, with age ranges that span the whole life course from birth to over 100 years old. The current size of cohorts ranges from 1.24 million in the Million Women Study, to approximately 150 in CFAS I (Cognitive Function and Ageing Studies I). It is estimated that some 2.5 million people in the UK have been recruited to large population cohort studies. In 2014, there are more than 2.2 million people (3.5% of the UK population) who are still taking part. Twenty-eight of the total 34 cohorts in this review were included in an exercise modelling the current and projected profile of the UK cohort portfolio in the 10 years to 2024. (RH). |
