Time Series The data were sampled for time periods in which the Society did not change the height standards for recruitment: 1770-75, 1780-83, 1792-93, 1800-04, 1811-13, 1816-17, 1818-20, 1821-23, 1824-25, 1826-28, 1838-39, 1842-44, 1845-47 and 1860-61. It was intended to get samples of about 500 cases for each date period (if that number were recruited in the period), and a systematic sample was taken of the MSYO and MSYQ datasets, keeping the proportion of each in the samples the same as in the total population. The samples also, however, incorporate some early samples of MSYO birth cohort data, for dates of birth 1756-57, 1778 and 1798 (a random sample of a quarter of the data were taken for the last two dates) Compilation or synthesis of existing material The Data Collection is available to UK Data Service registered users subject to the <a href="https://ukdataservice.ac.uk/app/uploads/cd137-enduserlicence.pdf" target="_blank">End User Licence Agreement</a>.
