Length, weight, head circumference

The body measures height, head circumference, and weight were measured by the experimenter in centimeters and kilos respectively. Participants were asked to take off any shoes and large vests and sweaters that could affect these measures.

Head circumference was only measured in this way in the 3y and 6y waves of the YOUth Baby and Child cohort.
