Longitudinal studies are those that record data for subjects or variables over time. If a longitudinal study uses the same subjects at each point where data are recorded, it is a panel study. If a longitudinal study samples from the same group at each point where data are recorded, it is a cohort study. See also longitudinal data, cross sectional study.
