Details

The data set contains data from children of Dutch descent (biological parents are born in the Netherlands). Children with growth-related diseases were excluded. The data were used to construct new growth charts of children of Dutch descent (Schonbeck 2013), and to calculate overweight and obesity prevalence (Schonbeck 2011).

Some groups were underrepresented. Multiple imputation was used to create synthetic cases that were used to correct for the nonresponse. See Van Buuren (2012), chapter 8 for details.
