Hello Beate,

I recommend exploring the Health, biomarkers, genetics and epigenetics data special dataset. This section provides, among others, comprehensive information, including questionnaires, user guides, and fieldwork documents, regarding the follow-up health assessment visits conducted by registered nurses during waves 2 and 3 of the study.

During these visits, various biomedical measures were collected, such as blood pressure, weight, height, waist measurement, body fat, and grip strength, among others.

For access to the Nurse Health Assessment data, you'll need to refer to the study SN:7251 Understanding Society: Waves 2-3 Nurse Health Assessment, 2010-2012. Please note that certain variables are excluded from the EUL version due to disclosure issues. These variables can be accessed through the Study SN:7587 Understanding Society: Waves 2-3 Nurse Health Assessment, 2010-12 Special Licence.

For further details on accessing the data, please visit the Accessing data section.

I hope this information is helpful.

Best wishes,
Roberto Cavazos
