Details
This dataset combines two datasets: krul data (Krul, 2010) (1257
persons) and the mgg data (Van Keulen 2011; Van der Klauw 2011) (803
persons). The krul dataset contains height and weight (both measures
and self-reported) from 1257 Dutch adults, whereas the mgg dataset
contains self-reported height and weight for 803 Dutch adults. Section 7.3 in
Van Buuren (2012) shows how the missing measured data can be imputed in the
mgg data, so corrected prevalence estimates can be calculated.
