Collected Dataset / TargetKids!_6_to_12_months

The population is composed of children, under six years of age at the time of recruitment, and attending scheduled health maintenance visit with their primary care physician.

Information is collected from many questionnaires, including the Nutrition and Health Questionnaire (child's food and fluid intake, physical growth, physical activity, sedentary behavior, and factors influencing food intake), the Child Behaviour Questionnaire (temperament, activity, and parenting, surgency/extraversion, negative affectivity and effortful control), the Parenting Stress Index (parental distress, difficult child characteristics, and dysfunctional parent-child interaction), and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (postpartum depressive symptomatology).

At each visit, children and their accompanying parent have height, weight and, waist circumference measured.

A blood sample is also taken.
