Aims:
 (i) to disseminate the main actions of the GLOBICS Consortium; (ii) to describe the nutritional and dietary data collection in OHBCS from middle-upper and high-income countries; (iii) to describe the dental care data collection in OHBCS from middle-upper and high-income countries; (iv) to present an overview of the potential methodological aspects connected to the pooled analysis. This symposium is a call for action after the Lancet Series on Oral Health (2019) and a workshop on running OHBCS held in Bangkok in 2019. It is an opportunity to debate methodological challenges, discuss similarities and dissimilarities among the cohorts, and the potential for further pooled analyses.
