The variable BWEIGHT represents the body weight of the respondents in kg
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 BWEIGHT is edited with respect outliers but not imputed for item-nonresponse.
It is assumed that for a two-year-period a change of body weight of more
than 35 kg is implausible if the values of the other observation years
differ only in a range of at most 7 kg. Thus the respective information is
imputed by the average of the other values of the respondent.
