| Resumen≠ | A prospective ecological study is an observational epidemiological design in which groups — not individuals — serve as the unit of analysis, and exposure data are collected going forward in time before outcomes are measured. Investigators define geographically, politically, or socially bounded populations, characterise their aggregate exposures at baseline, then ascertain group-level outcomes (disease rates, mortality rates) at one or more later time points. Because exposure precedes outcome measurement, this design provides stronger temporal evidence than retrospective ecological studies. | An ecological study is an observational epidemiological design in which the unit of analysis is a group or population — a country, region, city, or time period — rather than an individual. Exposures and outcomes are measured as aggregates (rates, proportions, or means) and then correlated across groups to generate or evaluate hypotheses about population-level associations between risk factors and disease. |
