Prompt used

Prospective cohort study design figure: a defined population is recruited, exposure status is measured at baseline and participants are split into an exposed cohort and an unexposed cohort. Both cohorts are followed over time with follow-up visits, outcomes are recorded as developed or not developed, and relative risk is calculated after adjusting for confounders.
