Article Abstract:

Comparison of an estimated distribution of a 500,000-person cohort based on existing cohort data with the 2000 US census is discussed. Results suggest that assembling existing cohorts into a large consortium would provide a powerful resource for investigating genetic and environmental factors in health and disease and yield results more quickly with less cost than a new cohort.
