The original purpose of Add Health was to understand the causes of adolescent health and health behaviour, with special emphasis on the multiple c…
The reliability of in-home measures of height and weight in large cohort studies
BACKGROUND: With the emergence of obesity as a global health issue an increasing number of major demographic surveys are collecting measured anthropometric data. Yet little is known about the characteristics and reliability of these data. OBJECTIVES: We evaluate the accuracy and reliability of anthropometric data collected in the home during Wave IV of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health), compare our estimat…

Add Health is a large sample of US adolescents in grades 7 to 12 in 1994–1995 followed into adulthood with 4 i…
