Harmonised Height, Weight and BMI in Five Longitudinal Cohort Studies: 1970 British Cohort Study

DOI

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.The Cohort and Longitudinal Studies Enhancement Resources (CLOSER) project aims to maximise the use, value and impact of longitudinal research. It brings together leading longitudinal studies, the British Library and the UK Data Service, to stimulate interdisciplinary research, develop shared resources, provide training, and share expertise. Resources available from CLOSER include harmonised datasets (developed to facilitate cross-study comparisons) and CLOSER Discovery (a search engine that enables researchers to search and browse questionnaires and data from different longitudinal studies). The CLOSER website also includes a range of training materials focused on longitudinal studies and data. CLOSER is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and is based at the UCL Institute of Education.The CLOSER Work Package 1 provides data harmonisation of anthropometric measures between the National Survey of Health and Development (NSHD), National Child Development Study (NCDS), 1970 British Cohort Study (BCS70), Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC), and the Millennium Cohort Study (MCS).

The Harmonised Height, Weight and BMI in Five Longitudinal Cohort Studies: 1970 British Cohort Study provides the harmonised data on height, weight and BMI for BCS70.

Main Topics:This study covers three harmonised anthropometric measures: heightweightBMI
