Abstract
We recently published data of a population study for the metabolic syndrome, performed during 1993-4 in Pieksämäki, Finland. All subjects (n=1008) born in the years 1947, 1952, and 1957 were examined according to a protocol described elsewhere.4Data on both weight and height at age 7 years (the start of primary school) were also collected.Keywords
