Cross-sectional studies are related to sample surveys. In both types of studies a sample S is taken from the target population U, for example by one of the sampling plans presented in Sect. 12.2. The basic difference between the two studies resides in their purpose and, consequently, in the way they are being evaluated. As remarked in Sect.

In a cross-sectional study, all in a given population or a random sample from this population define the source population. The disease and its possible determinants are all recorded at a given point in time. This introduces a temporal ambiguity in the possible cause–effect association and for this reason most cross-sectional studies have survey ...

Osteoporosis International, 2012Dear Sir, As I read the study by Patil et al. [1], I noticed that they have not stated several important points; in the methods section, the authors did not state the number of participants they contacted or the method used (telephone or direct interview?).
