The Global Exposome Cohort Catalogue is an international registry, based on the FAIR principle, of exposome cohorts with worldwide coverage. The objective is to generate a shared, public space for findability/discovery of cohorts with datasets that are relevant for the exposome field (i.e., that can contribute to answering exposome-related research questions), containing source metadata for each listed resource. We define a cohort as: a longitudinal population (birth, mother-child, adolescent, adult, or multi-generational) in which individual-level data are collected on health outcomes and/or exposures of interest. The Global Exposome Cohort Catalogue hosts metadata for each cohort, focusing on elements such as (Type of Cohort, Timing and duration of data collection, Exposure domains covered [e.g., chemical, urban, lifestyle, social], Geographical scope, Contact information for dataset access, Link to external website or data repository).

Aiginition Longitudinal Biomarker Investigation Of Neurodegeneration
Description
The ALBION cohort is an ongoing prospective observational study of middle-aged and older adults designed to study the biological, lifestyle, and environmental determinants of cognitive aging and Alzheimer's disease. The study integrates comprehensive clinical, neuropsychological, lifestyle, and dietary assessments with multimodal biomarker assessments, including cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers, neuroimaging, and omics technologies. Participants undergo longitudinal follow-up to characterize trajectories of cognitive decline and neurodegenerative disease progression. The cohort aims to understand how environmental, lifestyle, and biological exposures interact to influence cognitive aging and Alzheimer's disease risk, supporting the identification of early biomarkers and opportunities for precision prevention.
