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).

African Prospective study on the Early Detection and Identification of Cardiovascular disease and Hypertension
Description
The African-PREDICT study is a longitudinal cohort study investigating the early development and progression of hypertension and cardiovascular disease in young, healthy adults. Approximately 1,200 Black and White adults aged 20 to 30 years were recruited and assessed between 2013 and 2017 from Potchefstroom and surrounding areas in the North West Province of South Africa. Participants were enrolled through community health workers, workplace outreach, and public advertisements, with efforts to include individuals from low-, middle-, and high-socioeconomic backgrounds. The cohort is planned to be followed up on every five years.
