age Numeric Age of participant at time of measurement years double
height Numeric Height of participant at time of measurement metres double
FEV1 Numeric Spirometry measurement of lung function, forced exhaled volume in first second litres double

Data are originally from Dockery et al. (1983); this is a random sample of 300 girls living in Topeka, Kansas.

This data, and script file(s), are provided for students in the MSc in Health Data Science module 2491 - Data Challenge for the purposes of learning exploratory data analysis.
