Turin Longitudinal Study (TLS)
The Turin Longitudinal Study monitors health outcomes in the city of Turin, Italy from 1971 onwards, focusing on the impact of socioeconomic inequalities on health disparities. It aims to inform local decision-making by providing stakeholders with insights into the role of social determinants in shaping health outcomes. The cohort study follows individuals through census data collected in 1971, 1981, 1991, 2001, and 2011. The baseline 1971 survey consisted of just over 1,000,000 participants.
