Abstract:
An approach is illustrated for the analysis of longitudinal variables collected during adolescence. Since the method requires complete data, three techniques are compared for application when some individuals have missing values. These methods are implemented in a study of systolic blood pressures and dietary fat intakes collected longitudinally in adolescent girls. The value of adolescent systolic and fat variables in predicting systolic pressure in adult women is investigated.
