Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
La epidemiología analítica puede recurrir a estudios longitudinales y transversales. Los estudios longitudinales toman en cuenta el tiempo que transcurre entre la acción del agente o causa y la aparición de síntomas y signos o manifestaciones patológicas. Estos estudios pueden ser prospectivos o retrospectivos [...] En los estudios retrospectivos hay un seguimiento hacia atrás en el tiempo, por ejemplo en dos grupos, uno de enfermos y otro de sanos, en los que se investiga el antecedente de haber sufrido o no la acción del factor incriminado. 3, record 1, Spanish, - estudio%20retrospectivo
