Cohort studies allow the investigator to examine multiple outcomes and multiple exposures. Consider the following three exposures: smoking, low vitamin D intake, and severe cold weather. How many different outcomes could you examine in a cohort study that measured all three exposures at baseline

See the explanation for the answer.

4. 25-hydroxy vitamin D was observed.

Cohort study for cold weather

Outcomes that were examined

1. Allergic and asthma risked people were observed.

2. effect on the people when temperature goes up.
