cohort entry ends.

minPriorObservation = NULL,
.softValidation = TRUE
)

library(CohortConstructor)
cdm <- mockCohortConstructor()
cohort <- cdm |>
demographicsCohort(name = "cohort3", ageRange = c(18,40), sex = "Male")

cohort <- cdm |>
demographicsCohort(name = "cohort4",
ageRange = list(c(0, 19),c(20, 64),c(65, 150)),
sex = c("Male", "Female", "Both"),
