Cohort effects are not a limitation of longitudinal studies - in fact, they are a potential benefit.

Longitudinal studies can capture these effects over time, providing important insights into how different cohorts develop and change over time. The limitations of longitudinal studies include mortality (loss of participants due to death), history (changes in the environment or context that can impact results), and testing (practice effects or fatigue from repeated testing).
