The variable HEIGHT represents the body Height of the respondents in cm
which is directly asked in every second year since 2002 (Wave S). The
corresponding variable can be found in the $P-file (for teenagers who has
responded to the Youth-questionnaire the respective information was
surveyed the first time in 2006 wave W and can be found in the $PAGE17-
files).
In contrast to the $P/$PAGE17-variable the variable HEIGHT is edited with
respect to item-nonresponse and outliers.
In case of item-nonresponse missing values are imputed by the most recent
existing value.
It is assumed that for a two-year-period a change of body height of more
than 10 cm is implausible if the values of the other observation years
differ only in a range of at most 2 cm. Thus the respective information is
imputed by the average of the other values of the respondent.
