In English-speaking academic and scientific contexts, 'cohorts' is widely used in epidemiology and social research to describe groups studied longitudinally. In Brazil and Portugal, the term 'coortes' is reserved mainly for formal, academic, or historical discussions. Colloquially, Brazilians often use 'grupo' or 'turma' instead. In American slang, particularly in urban contexts, 'cohorts' can imply a group of collaborators with potentially questionable intentions.
