Usage
1
Format
A data frame with 136 observations (rows) and 12 variables (columns). Each row is a study participant.
- sex
An integer column with a boolean flag if the participant is male or female. Coded 0 for male, 1 for female.
- weight2
A numeric column with the participant's weight at age 2 in kg.
- height2
A numeric column with the participant's height at age 2 in inches.
- weight9
A numeric column with the participant's weight at age 9 in kg.
- height9
A numeric column with the participant's height at age 9 in inches.
- leg9
A numeric column with the participant's leg circumference at age 9 in cm.
- strength9
A numeric column with a composity measure of strength at age 9. Higher values = stronger.
- weight18
A numeric column with the participant's weight at age 18 in kg.
- height18
A numeric column with the participant's height at age 18 in inches.
- leg18
A numeric column with the participant's leg circumference at age 18 in cm.
- strength18
A numeric column with a composity measure of strength at age 18. Higher values = stronger.
- soma
A numeric column with the seven-point scale of the participant's body type at age 18. Higher values = larger.
