The authors present the results of a systematic
bibliographical search on prospective community studies in developing
countries. They provide information on 30 studies and define
"prospective community study" as including three elements:
the follow-up of a sizeable population, geographically defined, over a
period of several years, the size and duration of which should cumulate
to a number of person-years of at least 50,000; data on the whole
population gathered through a demographic surveillance system; and a
multidisciplinary approach. A summary of the selected studies as a
whole is presented, as is more detailed information on topics covered
and research findings for individual studies.
