Answer 1

The correct answer is both Statement I & II is incorrect.

Key Points Statement I is incorrect: In cohort studies, samples are drawn from a generally defined population over time.

Trend studies focus on analyzing and identifying patterns or changes in data over time, such as analyzing trends in population statistics or economic indicators.

Therefore, the most appropriate answer is option 2) both Statement I & II is incorrect.
