At ages 36, 43, 53, 60-64 and 68-70 weight was measured to the nearest 0.1kg with study members wearing light indoor clothing and no shoes. Height was measured to the nearest 0.5cm using a portable stadiometer, with participants standing without shoes and with heels against the wall as tall as possible with the head in the Frankfort Plane.<html><br></html> | At ages 36, 43, 53, 60-64 and 68-70 weight was measured to the nearest 0.1kg with study members wearing light indoor clothing and no shoes.

| Overall pubertal growth measures were derived using the Super-Imposition by Translation And Rotation (SITAR) method, developed by Tim Cole. SITAR growth curve analysis is effective at summarizing pubertal growth. NSHD anthropometry data were modelled jointly with a second cohort {{http://www.bristol.ac.uk/alspac|(ALSPAC)}} to improve the fit, due to relatively infrequent height and weight measurements at puberty. For further details see publication two below. |
