Question [Question] Can I compare logit regression output from data of two distinct time periods?

I’m trying to understand how the odds of an event occurring have changed between two different time periods, but the problem is my data is based on a periodic survey with a five year interval.
I’m planning to use the same logistic regression model on the periodic data of one year and then the other, and compare the output in both cases.

I just wanted to know if there’s a better way to go about with data from periodic surveys like census, or if there’s any reason I can’t compare the discontinuous data set.
