This data was simulated to mimic data from a longitudinal cohort study following mothers and their child from birth until approximately 4 years of age. It contains 2400 observations of 200 mother-child pairs. Children's BMI and head circumference was measured repeatedly and their age in months was recorded at each measurement. Furthermore, the data contain several baseline variables with information on the mothers' demographics and socio-economic status.
