Abstract

This series of Key Findings draws on information provided by the Cohort ‘08 9-year-old and his or her Primary Caregiver (usually the mother, and henceforth in this report referred to as the mother). The series is based on the 7,563 9-year-olds whose families participated in the study at ages 9 months, 3 years, 5 years and 9 years old. This Key Findings report is the third in the series from the latest round of data collection from Cohort ’08 and is the first report on the health and physical development of these children. It covers key health indicators as reported by the mother, such as general health, longstanding conditions and diet. It examines the children’s own reports of their physical activity as well as their measured weight status. In addition, it looks at how the health of the 9-year-olds varies by family circumstances and by the children’s health status at ages 3 and 5.
