IDEFICS/I.Family - Cohort Dataset

The IDEFICS/I.Family Cohort Dataset includes all data collected and derived for this cohort. These were collected at waves T0-T2 (IDEFICS), T3/T4 (I.Family) and T5 (I.Family follow-up). The dataset contains extensive information on anthropometry, health, demographics, physical activity (including accelerometer measurements), dietary behaviour (including food frequency questionnaire and 24-hour dietary recall), laboratory parameters analysed from urine, saliva, blood and stool samples, results of fMRI examinations, neurological tests and data from kindergartens and schools. The data were collected using various questionnaires and surveys or measured using standardised procedures.

The participants were between 2 and 9 years old at baseline (T0) and between 11 and 27 years old at wave T5. In the T3 wave, also siblings and parents of the children from T0/T1 were included.
