bp_children: B-Proact1v Children Data

Description

The bp_children data set contains information on 1,283 children from Bristol, UK, who each took three blood pressure readings per visit over the course of two observation periods (at ages 9 and 11) and had their body mass index (BMI), physical activity, and sedentary time information recorded. The study examined how sedentary behavior and physical activity affected children progressing through primary school to better understand the relationship between elevated blood pressure in children and its impact on the development of cardiovascular disease into adulthood
